Hello everyone. In this video we are walking around the location of the former Lehigh Cement site in Fogelsville PA. This location was once the site of the largest Portland cement production plant in Lehigh County PA. Portland cement was named after stone that was quarried in the area of Portland UK.
This enormous plant had two huge open pit quarries and was serviced by the Catasaqua and Foglesville railroad, later the Reading company. I have a few videos documenting this area titled exploring Fogelsville parts 1 through 5. This land has been pretty much unused since the late 1970's and is now being reclamated for a new cold storage facility. There is a chance that rail service could be extended here but I believe that is doughtfull this will happen. Please ask any questions about this site as I know a bit about its history. Thank you for watching. 6/28/24
