Rebuilt in 1837, now grade 2 listed building.

Fresh off the farm, the newest rebuilt rotary snow plow on the BNSF roster awaits delivery on the APNC connection. The Albia football field is to my left and they've got some nice pines planted for effect. If you use your imagination, it almost feels like we're in the Mountain West where this thing's headed...

Rebuilt following the devastating earthquake of 1693, its architecture has been recognised as providing outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe and, along with other towns in the Val di Noto, is part of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Italy.

Ceauşima ("Ceaushima")

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C5%9Fima

Ceauşima ("Ceaushima") is a vernacular word construction in Romanian, sarcastically linking former Communist leader Nicolae Ceauşescu to Hiroshima. This portmanteau term was sometimes coined in the 1980s to describe the huge urban areas of Bucharest that Ceauşescu ordered torn down, comparing the results with the nuclear attack on Hiroshima.

During the final few years of Ceauşescu's tenure, significant portions of the historic center of Bucharest were demolished to accommodate standardized apartment blocks and government buildings, including the grandiose Centrul Civic and the palatial House of the People, now the Palace of the Parliament.

Centre historique de Telč

La ville est située sur une colline et ses maisons étaient à l'origine construites en bois. Après un incendie à la fin du XIVe siècle, elle a été reconstruite en pierre, entourée de murailles et renforcée par un réseau de bassins. Le château gothique de la ville a été reconstruit dans le style du premier art gothique à la fin du XVe siècle.

Historic Centre of Telč

The houses in Telc, which stands on a hilltop, were originally built of wood. After a fire in the late 14th century, the town was rebuilt in stone, surrounded by walls and further strengthened by a network of artificial ponds. The town's Gothic castle was reconstructed in High Gothic style in the late 15th century.

The last late path for the year down the Settle & Carlisle merited coming down for the Northbound run. In mid 20C temperatures and slight haze about in the sky, it was pure luck to get a bit of clag at Garsdale Troughs as No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' hauls 'The Dalesman' towards Ais Gill.

Freshy rebuilt SD75ACC 8312 has the honors of leading G811 today as they inch their train thru the Fraser Surrey Docks for export. These rebuilt SD75is are one of the rare examples of where the rebuild might be better than the original in my opinion.

The original lighthouse built in 1903 was recreated in 1983 by local high schools students. Over the years it weathered many storms and was very badly damaged in 2019. Then in January 2020, it was completely destoryed. To the credit of this tiny community on the Bruce Peninsula, a group of volunteers rebuilt it again.

9003, 9004 and 9002 lead HV370 loaded coal from the Hunter Valley coal loader, located on the Newdell-Liddell coal loop to PWCS Kooragang in the Port of Newcastle, seen at Branxton at 1200 on Saturday the 1st of July 2023.

 

The 90 class face an uncertain future due to their lack of ECP braking capabilities, a technology which ARTC intend to make universal on coal trains on their network within coming years, a technology that the 90s cannot have fitted outside of a major rebuild. Coupled with the continued obsolescence of their DC traction package and their extremely heavy weight (by Australian standards) of 164t or 177t (the latter weight is a modification fitted to several examples which allows their tractive effort to be equal to that of a unit with AC traction) makes them too heavy to work anywhere outside of the Hunter Valley coal network (Narrabri-Newcastle) with little exception. What will happen is unclear as Pacific National have made conflicting statements and actions regarding whether the locomotives will be rebuilt or withdrawn from service in the near future, with members of the class coming in and out of storage, although none as of the time of writing (03/07/23) have been scrapped. In addition to normal coal services, since 2020 three 90s at a time have been dedicated to banking duties for loaded coal trains over the steep Ardglen Bank. These locomotives are based at Chilcotts Creek loop (with Aurizon's bankers based there as well) when not required.

This house is being slowly rebuilt, but at least they are keeping the style.

They have however chopped down a beautiful Monkey Puzzle tree that was in the garden and I can't think why.

On Monday afternoon, I was out in west Topeka photographing the MHNTP, when I got word that the MNPEW was headed my way with a freshly-repainted/rebuilt AC60 on the point! I didn't have time to get out to Midland for the GOOD shot, but I was able to run over to CP Z067 (Porubsky's Curve) to get this Houston-bound manifest coming around the curve.

 

For the Diesel Nerds out there like myself, the UP 6893 was built as a 4,400 HP "Convertible," before being rebuilt into a legit 6,000 HP AC6000CW a few years after its delivery. Eventually, these went back to 4,400 HP engines when the more powerful ones proved to be problematic. In April 2023, it was rebuilt again by GE into a C44ACM, giving it the appearance you see here.

A rebuilt Baldwin switcher, the 99, rolls past us on the outskirts of Council Bluffs back on July 27, 1976. Built in 1949 for the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha, this old DS4-4-1000 became a Northwestern property in 1957 when the railroad came under the control of the CNW. The 99 was given an EMD 657 prime mover in 1960 and lived until 1979 when it was stored and stripped for parts, finally meeting its demise in 1980, being scrapped in Oelwein.

Pszczyna Castle (Polish: Zamek w Pszczynie), is a classical-style palace in the city of Pszczyna (formerly called "Pless") in south-western Poland. Constructed as a castle in 13th century or earlier, in a Gothic architectural style, it was rebuilt in a Renaissance style in the 17th century. During the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, the exterior of the castle was partially changed into a Baroque-Classical style. The Classicist modernization transformed the complex into what is usually described a palace.

 

In its history the castle was a residence of Silesian and Polish Piast nobles, then the Promnitz family members (mid-16th to mid-18th centuries) and later the von Pless family. The castle has been state-owned since 1936, after the death of the last Prince of Pless, Hans Heinrich XV. In 1946 it was turned into a museum operating until today.

 

In 2009 it was voted as one of the "Seven Architectural Wonders of the Silesian Voivodeship" by the Silesian authorities and is often described as one of the most beautiful castle residences in Poland.

In the early the Middle Ages, Pszczyna was a stronghold of the Piast dynasty and several dukes of Poland. The city belonged to the historical region of Lesser Poland until 1177, when it became part of the Duchy of Ratibor. From this time on, it also was part of the Bishopric of Kraków. In 1548, the palace was sold to the noble Promnitz family from Saxony and given a Renaissance appearance, which it lost after a fire. It was subsequently rebuilt in a more baroque style.

 

In 1705, Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann became Kapellmeister to Erdmann II of Promnitz, privy Councillor to Augustus II the Strong, elector of Saxony and king of Poland, and spent considerable time at the Pszczyna Palace when the latter's court summered there. This gave Telemann an opportunity to study Polish and Moravian folk music, which fascinated and inspired him.

 

In 1742 Pless became part of Brandenburg-Prussia. In 1848 the Duchy of Pless became a Principality, ruled by the Hochberg-Fuerstenstein family until 1939. Between 1870 and 1876, reconstruction of the palace was directed by the French architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur.

During the First World War, the palace, then in the German-controlled Silesia, at times hosted William II, German Emperor, and there are pictures on display of him together with Generals such as Erich Ludendorff and Paul von Hindenburg discussing military operations. After the war and a plebiscite in 1921, the town became part of Poland. Following the invasion of Poland in September 1939, the complex was occupied by the Wehrmacht.

 

After the Second World War, Upper Silesia became part of the Polish People's Republic. For a brief period there was a Soviet military hospital in the palace, but in May 1946 it was turned into a museum, which still operates today.

"Designing a dream city is easy; rebuilding a living one takes imagination." Jane Jacobs.

 

As I already mentioned in my previous photograph of Munich, many buildings in the historic center of the Bavarian capital had to be rebuilt after the bombings of World War II. Luckily, most of Munich's monuments have already returned to their former splendor, and the new buildings blend in with the old quite harmoniously. One of the best examples of this reconstruction work can be seen in the Marienplatz, the heart of the city and its main square since the 12th century.

Photographing this beautiful but crowded space is not easy at all, during the day thousands of people pass through here, so even at sunset it is quite unlikely to get clean scenes. For this reason, I opted for dawn, although in this case, the cleaning works and the transport of goods to the premises in the area also complicated the task. In the end, this composition with the Old Town Hall building as the main element of the photograph was my favorite view. The decision to eliminate the upper part of the Mariensäule is due to the fact that the statue of the Virgin appeared cut with the focal length that best suited my composition. Including the statue it would have meant adding other elements to the limits of the image that affected its total balance.

"Diseñar una ciudad de ensueño es fácil; reconstruir una viva requiere imaginación." Jane Jacobs.

 

Como ya comenté en mi anterior fotografía de Munich, muchos edificios del centro histórico de la capital bávara tuvieron que ser reconstruidos después de los bombardeos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por suerte, la mayoría de monumentos de Munich han recuperado ya su antiguo esplendor, y los nuevos edificios se mezclan con los antiguos de forma bastante armoniosa. Uno de los mejores ejemplos de este trabajo de reconstrucción puede apreciarse en la Marienplatz, el corazón de la ciudad y su plaza principal desde el siglo XII.

Fotografiar este bello pero concurrido espacio no es para nada sencillo, durante el día miles de personas pasan por aquí, por lo que incluso al atardecer resulta bastante improbable conseguir escenas limpias. Por ello, opté por el amanecer, aunque en este caso, los trabajos de limpieza y de transporte de mercancías a los locales de la zona complicaron también la tarea. Al final, esta composición con el edificio del Viejo Ayuntamiento como elemento principal de la fotografía fue mi vista favorita. La decisión de eliminar la parte superior de la Mariensäule, se debe al hecho de que la estatua de la virgen aparecía cortada con la distancia focal que mejor le iba a mi composición. Incluirla hubiera supuesto añadir otros elementos en los límites de la imagen que afectaban al equilibrio total de la misma.

CSX Train NMWA-15 slowly rolls through Newport, ME on 7/15/2022 with a former QNSL SD40-2 and a GP40 in charge of a healthy train.

 

Back around 2015 Pan Am got 5 exQNSL SD40-2's (3400-3404) which were owned by GMTX and used to repay HP hours to NS. Pan Am also sold GP40 345, GP40-2LW's 500, 503, 507, & 513, as well as SD40M-2 616 to GMTX who rebuilt them and leased them back. 500 and 513 were never rebuilt before the agreement was canned, however the others were completed.

 

In 2018 Pan Am sold a large batch of dead or parted out GP40's to GMTX with the intent of rebuilding them and leasing them back. GP40 340 was sent in for rebuild but was never completed before Pan Am backed out in favor of GE's.

 

Around 2020 Pan Am bought out the remainder of the lease on the units they were leasing from GMTX. Following the CSX takeover, the 3400's (including the 616 renumbered as the 3405) were sent to the B&E where I believe 3405 is now being used for parts and one or two others are now dead.

On my way home from KC, I took US 24, which parallels the UP Kansas Sub, and just east of Grantville, I overtook this nice-looking rebuild on the point of a westbound oil train, and just HAD to shoot it.

 

With just one easy turn off of the highway, I was able to nab this shot of the OSJWU4 15 with the UP 6544 on the point. The 6544 was rebuilt into an ACM in mid-2023, but clearly, it's still looking quite good.

UP AC44C6M 6922 switches out the TZPR yard in East Peoria, IL.

Founded in 597, the cathedral was completely rebuilt between 1070 and 1077. The east end was greatly enlarged at the beginning of the 12th century, and largely rebuilt in the Gothic style following a fire in 1174, with significant eastward extensions to accommodate the flow of pilgrims visiting the shrine of Thomas Becket, the archbishop who was murdered in the cathedral in 1170. The Norman nave and transepts survived until the late 14th century, when they were demolished to make way for the present structures.

Before the English Reformation the cathedral was part of a Benedictine monastic community known as Christ Church, Canterbury, as well as being the seat of the archbishop.

The Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

 

Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.

 

It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."

 

Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was considered to be the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).

 

Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185. The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive.

 

After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir (St. Hugh's Choir) and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style.

 

The cathedral is the 3rd largest in Britain after St Paul's and York Minster, being 484 feet by 271 feet. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate. Accompanying the cathedral's large bell, Great Tom of Lincoln, is a quarter-hour striking clock.

 

The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.

 

After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral, including the rebuilding of the central tower and spire.

 

In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

This is the rebuilt original Bluff Fort, restored through the effort of the Hole in the Rock Foundation. The community in southeast Utah, settled in April 1880 by Mormon pioneers.

 

Pioneers were seeking a route from south-central Utah to their proposed colony in the far southeastern corner of the state. In the autumn of 1879, some 250 men, women, and children left with enough supplies for a 6- to 8-week trip, and undertook one of the most challenging and dramatic pioneering expeditions in American history.

 

Rejecting two longer routes, they chose a more direct path and expected the 125-mile trek would take 6 weeks. Instead, the journey extended 260 miles over 6 months via the longest shortcut, Hole-in-the-Rock Trail during the winter.

 

Many sections of the trail were almost impassable. To allow wagon passage, the men spent 6 weeks blasting and chiseling a path through a narrow, 1200-foot (400 m) drop in the sandstone cliffs known as the Hole-in-the-Rock. Brothers had experience using explosives as miners in Wales, were put in charge of drilling and blasting to make a path for wagon passage.

 

On January 26, 1880 the expedition (250 people, 83 full-sized wagons, and over 1000 head of livestock) began their descent to the river. Wagons were heavily roped, and teams of men and oxen used to lower them through the upper crevice, which has slopes approaching 45°. Further down, a wooden track had been constructed along a slickrock sandstone slope. Posts in drilled holes supported horizontal beams to allow passage of the wagons.

 

By April 1880, the pioneers were too exhausted to continue to their intended destination 20 miles upriver and chose to settle along flat area in the river valley. Calling the new location Bluff City, they began dividing the land, building log cabins, and digging a ditch from the river for crop irrigation.

 

The Bluff Fort grew into an open square surrounded by cottonwood log cabins with all cabin doors and windows facing inward. The exact number of cabins in the Fort is unknown, but ranged from 38 – 63 cabins. Inside the Fort, the Bluff City Meetinghouse was completed in the fall of 1880 and served for 14 years as a church, school, dance hall, and public meeting place.

 

The Meetinghouse is opened to the visitors showing a film and providing brochures. The Fort was a fascinating place to learn amazing history of high spirit.

Freshly rebuilt/repainted BNSF 2815 (originally a CB&Q GP30) switches Colonial Brick at Cermak Rd and Peoria St in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. This was shortly after BNSF took back operations of the "Lumber District" trackage from Central Illinois Railway, whose classic, CB&Q-esque switcher went elsewhere. BNSF recently gave up operations of the entire district, and this spur has been paved over.

Excerpt from spottinghistory.com:

 

Katarina kyrka (Church of Catherine) was originally constructed in 1656–1695. It has been rebuilt twice after being destroyed by fires, the second time during the 1990s. The Katarina-Sofia borough is named after theparish and the neighbouring parish of Sofia.

 

Construction of the church started during the reign of Charles X of Sweden, and the church is named after Princess Catherine, mother of the king, wife of John Casimir, Palsgrave of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and half-sister of Gustavus Adolphus. The original architect was Jean de la Vallée. The construction was severely delayed due to shortage of funds.

 

In 1723 the church, together with half of the buildings in the parish, was completely destroyed in a major fire. Rebuilding started almost immediately, under supervision of Göran Josua Adelcrantz, the city architect, who designed a larger, octagonal tower.

 

May 17, 1990, the church burned down again. Almost nothing but the external walls remained. Architect Ove Hidemark was responsible for rebuilding the church, which was reopened in 1995. The new organ was built by J. L. van den Heuvel Orgelbouw in the Netherlands.

 

Several famous Swedes are buried in the cemetery surrounding the church, most notable the assassinated Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, nationally popular Dutch-Swedish singer Cornelis Vreeswijk and Sten Sture the Elder.

Excerpt from the plaque:

 

Rebuilt in 1834, Tongmyeongjeon 通明殿 served as the queen’s residence. As an important building of living quarters, it has a wide elevated stone terrace in front. The center section of the building is a wood-floored hall and on either side is an ondol (heated floor) room. The yard to the west is a garden with a round well and square pond, and the waterway running between them was painstakingly crafted from stone. Rebuilt in 1834, Yanhwadang 養和堂 was the residential quarters for the queen mother, but King Injo lived here when he returned from refuge at Namhansanseong Fortress during the Manchu invasion of 1636.
