Conrail WJAL-12 works at the Hercules Cement Mill in Stockertown, Pennsylvania. When I was a kid, Pennsylvania Route 191’s old alignment (now Hercules Drive) ran right behind the rail loading silos out of sight to the right in the distance. There were always dozens of 34-fooy covered hoppers by the silos. By this time, most if not all of the cement left by truck, and the railroad only provided coal for the kilns.
