The WABCO plant in Wilmerding is now WabTec, but it's still there.
American Standard owned Union Switch and Signal and WABCO and to be honest
I have no idea what the ownership looks like these days. Union Switch and
Signal is no longer in Edgewood (there's a shopping center there now) but
they do have an office building where the J&L plant along 2nd Avenue was.
