Bath Junction and yard were situated in the
southeast corner of the town of Bath. The DL&W's Bangor & Portland Railway
closely paralleled the L&NE's line to Martins Creek between Bath and
Nazareth, crossing over it at a location in Nazareth called Dexter Hill
Interlocking. The yard office at Bath authorized all train movements on the
L&NE's Martins Creek Branch. September 28, 1968 - A. W. Kovacs
The DL&W served Pennsylvania Cement Company
was across L&NE tracks. The Lackawanna Company had to secure
permission prior to entering the interlocking in as much as the route was always
set for the L&NE. The diverging track to the right in this view (view
looking towards Bath Junction) is the interchange connection to the
DL&W. - eastward view, circa 1930 - photographer unknown
The L&NE operated two main tracks between MP 0.2 and MP
2.8. Although by compass direction Martins Creek was east of Bath Junction,
traffic flow on the branch was opposite from compass direction, i.e., from east
(Bethlehem Junction) to west (Martins Creek). Therefore, by timetable
direction Martins Creek was westbound of Bath! In this scene the view is
looking towards Martins Creek. - westward view, circa
