It is my understanding Bates was strictly a town for OLC employees. Austin was in existence before Bates and therefore the depot was at Austin.

I was recently shown a number of photos of Bates including a couple from the hillsides above the town. There was a large company hotel/office that fronted on the railroad and the indication to me was that it also contained office space for the Sumpter Valley.
