I believe I asked this question before and forgot the reply: Did DL&W obtain the cement from the Cement Belt of PA and carry it on its trains? Or was it using cement before it served the Cement Belt? When did DL&W first pass through Nazareth on its way to Bath PA? Thank you. Harold Harold With out getting specific, The Lackawanna, or (Bangor and Portland RR ) at that time was hauling cement long before the Lackawanna's big time use of it after the turn of the century.
