Steelton's location in the games is unclear (except in the PQ1VGA reboot). It is implied to be some distance from Lytton, California, and to be a kind of sister city (at least one officer transferred from Steelton into Lytton Police Department). Also Bains drives between Lytton and Steelton when he kidnaps Marie Wilkans. PQ3 manual, suggests that Bonds was led on an interstate chase between Lytton and Steelton, suggesting that the two cities are in separate states altogether (although technically not all interstate highways pass between multiple states, but in most instances they do).
