Question of the day: Would you rather be a train brakeman or a natural gas flare operator?

NOTE: We made a small typo at the 11 minutes 51 seconds mark. We meant to say "1886" not "1866". The Westinghouse Electric Company was founded in 1886, not in 1866. Apologies for the typo! #Westinghouse #AmericanTitan #History
