Triple Crossing in Richmond, Virginia is believed to be the only place in North America where three Class I railroads cross at different levels at the same spot.
At the lowest (ground) level, the original Richmond and York River Railroad was extended after the American Civil War to connect with the Richmond and Danville Railroad, later part of the Southern Railway System, currently part of Norfolk Southern. The line runs east to West Point, Virginia.
The middle level was the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, now part of CSX Transportation known as the “S” line, just south of Main Street Station. It is planned to become part of the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor.

Great Canyon

Grand Canyon is the biggest canyon in the world and probably one of the most naturally beautiful attractions visited by thousands of tourists every year.
The biggest thermometer in the world is found in Baker, CA, definitely a hot and steamy part of America. Apparently a business man had a dream to build the biggest thermometer (as all normal people would) and made it happen in 1991.
