I believe the company hotel at Bates(short for Batesville) also served as the Bates depot for SVRy, and after the construction of Batesville, supplanted Austin as the noon lunch stop for pass. trains. Most of the time locomotive crews traded consisits so the crew and engine from Baker returned to Baker each night and the crew and engine used from Austin to Prarrie tied up at Austin.
