The grain elevator in the background and the railroad are gone, but the roundhouse is still standing.

The roundhouse lasted longer than the railroad. The public works is using the former railyard for material storage.

Polka Zara posted ten photos with the comment: "The reading railroad roundhouse in Hellertown Pa, next too i78. It sits upon a concrete plant now and former railyard. Used for storage but in incredibly rough shape and is more or less a shed now. Slightly smaller then it was at its peak. With the Bethlehem Greenway expanding thru the plant in the short term too connect too saycon rail trail, I hope it is preserved, unlike the coal tower that once sat with it."
