 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 1930 - photographer unknown
