Summary: The Jagoffs did not have to railroad Brianna from the Rivers of Steel OR Tom from the Duquesne Incline to talk about their unique jobs at the Western PA Model Railroad Museum. A history lesson on model railroads intersect perfectly with reasons why all yinzers should hit Carrie Furnace and the incline…and we have REAL carolers.
