Batavia has always confused me greatly..
I have driven around it several times, and I found the "old" DLWR "enginehouse" inside the large warehouse, but I could never figure out what all those random DLWR tracks snaking through Batavia were originally..and I know a bit of LV mainline is still in use..but where exactly?
And which current trackage was originally NYC, Erie or LV?
I had no idea!
(it turns out no original Erie trackage is use today..only NYC and LV)
and it doesnt help that the NYC completly moved and re-routed its mainline at some point! confusing things all the more..
(anyone know when they moved the mainline?)
so I made a map! (two actually)..
now I understand it all!
Im going to print these out and take them with me next time I head out Batavia-way..
I have included the Batavia map in a new webpage im working on:

thanks,
