1895 NORTHAMPTON COUNTY RAILROAD MAP

Notes About Existing Stations... Berlinsville (L&NE) - Can anyone confirm that this is actually a station? Is it still there? Bethlehem (CNJ) - Both CNJ stations are actually in Lehigh County abut 100 yards across the line. Delabole (DL&W) - Bed now a trail. Moved 1/4 mile north or original location. Easton (LV) - The elevator and stairwell kiosks and trainsheds have been removed. The passenger and freight stations as well as the Railway Express facility themselves are still there, located enclosed under the tracks, and unused for years. Mt. Bethel (DL&W) - Modified into a private house with some addition that may or may not have been done by the railroad. This was an original Bangor & Portland RR station and according to ICC valuation records was built in 1878. Nazareth (DL&W) - County property records indicate a build date of 1890 which would make the station of Bangor & Portland vintage. The freight section of this building was the end with frontage on Main Street, whereas the rear of the building was the passenger end. Nazareth (L&NE) - Sanborn maps through 1928 show this as a brick freight station with a wood frame exterior. Northampton (CNJ) - This was one of two CNJ stations in Northampton. The station that currently stands in Northampton was previously called: Northampton Station, Laubach (circa 1870), then Stemton (circa 1880), then Alliance (1902), and finally just Northampton (1909). The two stations in Northampton Borough were about a mile apart with a passing siding on eastbound No. 1 track (the No. 1 Track diverted southward in effect making the passing siding a middle track with cross over switches to and from the westbound No. 2. track) starting between the two and running beyond Northampton Station to a point near the junctions of the Northampton & Bath Railroad. Pen Argyl (L&NE) - Has housed a vet hospital since 2012. Portland (DL&W) - The current building is the second DL&W station at Portland, and was built about 1897. Donna Zalepa writes (9/3/00): My family has owned the Portland Railroad Station since purchasing it from the Railroad approximately in 1963. It has had only one owner since, that being my family, the Dahlmans. I am anticipating sale of the building and land next fall. I would like to see it remain and or be 'railway' oriented. It is zoned commercial and has 300 or so foot of Route 611 frontage and is in sound shape. Contrary to the information above, ICC valuation records from 1926 list the date built for this station as 1900. Portland (L&NE) - Heavily modified into automobile shop. Street side facade still has the original appearance. Siegfried (CNJ) - Town is part of Northampton now. Steel City (Replica) - This station is reportedly a replica of the West Portal, NJ (Hunterdon Co.) Lehigh Valley station.
