Batavia OH Depot Question

[NW Mailing List]

Shawn,

Here are some views of the Batavia, Ohio depot I snapped in (I believe) early 1988. I had no idea at the time it would be torn down soon or I would have taken many more. Hope this helps with your project, I for one am looking forward to seeing it!

Subject: Batavia OH Depot Question

 

I am seeking information on the Batavia, OH train station. The plans and pictures available in the archives are prior to a rebuild that occurred I believe in 1940. According to a newspaper article I found, an underpass for West Main street in Batavia was built, and the depot was raised 16 feet in 1940.  The depot was torn down in 1988. I have memories of the depot in the 70s and 80s, and have been able to locate pictures of both ends and the trackside of the building, but cannot find what the side of the building away from the tracks looked like after the 1940 rebuild. I hope to kitbash a representative HO scale model (not an exact replica) of the station in the future. If anyone has any information about the Batavia, OH depot as it existed after the 1940 rebuild, and especially what the side of the station away from the tracks looked like I'd appreciate it. 

Thanks,

Shawn Harley
