Re: [CBQ] Mystery station

That sure looks like Batavia, IA to me - but I'm not sure which one - the 
original (B&MR) or the Ft. Madison & Northwestern (a narrow gauge later 
absorbed into the Burlington).  Given the signals, think it is the former, 
though -  looking towards Ottumwa.
 
I have postcard views of this, plus the "Peavine" book at home, I'll check when 
I get there.

I posted a photo of a station called "Batavia". But it is not the east side 
station of Batavia, Illinois that is now a museum. There was a branch line of 
the west side of town. Can anyone verify if this is the west side Batavia 
station? It does not appear to be a station in Batavia of another state. Thanx.
