The normally nocturnal BODO (Boston, Massachusetts to Dover, New Hampshire) empty gravel train made a rare daylight arrival in Dover this morning after outlawing at Rockingham Junction. A Rigby crew was brought in to take the train the last 13 miles into Dover. Both NHN GP38-2's and the leased FURX GP38-2 are currently being used on the train. The CPF243 interlocking at the west end of Dover still features a classic B&M signal bridge with searchlight signals. The signal heads were changed from 3 light to 2 light in conjunction with the Amtrak Downeaster service signal upgrades in 2001.
