During the battle of Antietam, a number of Union attacks were directed at Confederates in the vicinity of the Dunker Church, which was mentioned in the post-battle reports of many officers on both sides. Some of the church's battle scars can be seen in a photo of dead soldiers in front of Dunker Church. Confederate forces used the church as a medical aid station, and at least one report said it was a Union embalming station. Only 10 years old at the time of the September 17, 1862 battle, the church that had figured prominently in the battle and its aftermath was abandoned by the congregation, which built a new church nearby in Sharpsburg. Weathered and vandalized, the old church finally fell during a severe storm in 1921. The church shown above is a reconstruction of the original, built by the National Park Service on the foundation of the original, in time for the 1962 centennial of the Civil War battle. Antietam National Battlefield Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 (#66000038); it encompasses 32,496 acres and includes 70 buildings, 13 structures, and 9 "objects".
My perspective on the church was influenced not only by light, but also by the desire to eliminate (or at least minimize) evidence of construction activity. Look closely at the back corner of the church and you can see some scaffolding, and some construction barricades are barely outside the photo on the left. Sprucing up of some Antietam structures was underway when we visited, presumably in preparation for the 150th anniversary of the battle in September.

Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.
