A little before Jemelle station, you can see the impressive buildings of the Lhoist factory, one of the main suppliers of quicklime to the Belgian and Luxemburg steel industry. The quicklime produced by the factory is of the finest quality and the ultramodern factory plant is situated close to nearby major trunk roads and connected to the railway network. The factory produces about 500.000 tons of quicklime per year and employs roughly a 100 people. Historically, the factory’s development and exploitation are linked to the construction of the Brussels-Luxemburg railway line in 1850
