[CBQ] Re: Batavia, IL agency

["Gerald Edgar" <vje68@hotmail.com>]

The existing Batavia Depot museum is the depot from the West Chicago aka Turner 
Jct branch aka Aurora Branch RR that still exists. It was relocated to west 
side of the Fox River to a park ironically adjacent to C&NW r.o.w.  The last 
Agent in Batavia ("66 sounds right) was a short chubby fellow who moved from 
Batavia in late 1980's.  I have his name at home somewhere as purchased the 
depot phone from him (one of the old oak box wind-ups) when he moved.  I can ck 
my TT's to see last date a mixed is shown if you need to doublecheck that 
Zephyr article Richard.  We are fortunate that 2 of the depots & nearly all of 
the original r.o.w. of this line that was the entire CB&Q at one time, still 
exist (W. Chicago being the other depot)  Gerald
