I'm guesing it's down at the Brooklyn yards but it's just a guess.

Am flying out there on the 22nd for nieces wedding and would love to catch this.

I don't know where the steamer is but the tracking equiptment is in the tool car. that's why the tracking shows it as being in Albina. I would check around union station.
