Did you know that the majority of the rail steel for that railway was made right here in the US. Carnegie, and the Maryland Steel Co. Baldwin Locomotive built the engines (they are about 15 minutes from my home) Westinghouse supplied the air brakes (I worked for them at one point) The bridges were built by Sparrow Point Maryland. All to be shipped to Russia.
