CSX BOWLINE Savannah Sub: Savannah-Ogeechee Nahunta Sub: Ogeechee-Jesup (to Jacksonville) Jesup Sub: Jesup-Waycross (to Folkston) Thomasville Sub: Waycross-Thomasville. Dothan Sub: Thomasville-Montgomery. Thomasville, Ga; January 1997. In the beginning of my railfanning days, the Tallahassee sub on Sunday
afternoons gets pretty slow so I decide to try my luck in Thomasville.
Same luck: the yard is empty and dead.
Bainbridge, Ga; February 1997. Another Sunday afternoon, I try the Dothan subdivision. A string of
lumber cars is ready for the GSWR to be picked up on Monday.
Bainbridge, Ga; February 1997. Behind the peanut plant, I find one of the local engines, a B23-7 3105
still in Seaboard System.
Saffold, Ga; February 1997. My first catch on the Bowline. This WB local just picked up cars from
the CIRR and is resuming its trip to Dothan. Another B23-7 in a predecessor
paintscheme of CSX is this time is in the lead. It is coupled with another
GE, C30-7 7029.
Boston, Ga (not Ma); March 1997. This is probably the reason why CSX officials laughed their head off
when they heard about the Y2K bug...
An EB freight is about to go in the hole for a WB. The conductor gets
off his train to flip the switch, right in front one of the numerous depots
left on the Bowline.
Bainbridge, Ga; December 1998. Y101 works the yard on the Bainbridge subdivision from the SAL bridge
across the Flint River.
