Went to Jax for my Cardiac Stress Test and stopped by to take some pix of Bowden Yard. You can't get too close and with a 35mm objective lens on my pos kodak the images may be a bit on the small side.

The "new motive power" is an SD70M-2 that FEC recieved back in January 2007. The numbers were 100-103. Otherwise, good pics! :-D

I went to Bowden yard once in late 2006. Lots of switching activity and saw 2 or 3 trains arrive within 15 minutes.
