NS 9147 and 2586
Title:  NS 9147 and 2586
Description:  A train of empty Top-Gons idles in front of the foggy USS Clairton Coke Works. When it is foggy here, the strong smell of sulfur just envelopes the town. I cannot see how it possibly can be healthy for people who live in the Clairton area.

Description:  Double stack train Q016-08 has a several hour wait in Broadford near the grade crossing.

I use the word "hot" loosely becuase there is nothing hot in this photo!
