There's a TON of abandon factories and plants all over the place. Surprisingly though, it seems that there more working factories around my area than the many that are shut down.

It's huge. It was once the 2nd biggest steel company around. The company just didn't change tactics and debt piled up quickly. Nearly every male senior I know, except for my grandfather and some others worked at that steel plant. Must have been hell when it closed down.
The plant stretches a good 3 1/2 miles along the Leigh river. Many transportation centers were once in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area. Many have been destroyed and replaced by huge strip malls.
