Providence & Worcester NH-1 works the Belle Dock in New Haven on a December afternoon in 2018. The track in this area has been reconfigured and a new yard was built for growing business.
I had a play colourising ( I don't believe I just wrote that!) a couple of black and white negatives shot in Sydney way back in 1989. Ilford HP5, Nikon FM2 and I think Nikkor 35-105 f3.5-4.5.
I love the brutal ugliness of this building and am glad to know that it is not being knocked down, but will be 'reconfigured'.

Continuing with photos from the London Flickr Photowalk to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hackney Wick back in July, here's the reconfigured Olympic Stadium, now home to West Ham United. Not much has changed in this view from 2012 except the river was full of algae, presumably as a result of the excessively warm weather. My pseudo-IR post-production has highlighted this and I was in two minds whether to tone this down.

If any of you have photos of the buildings of the London 2012 Olympics it would be great if you could could and add them to the London 21012 Architecture group I started back in the day..... www.flickr.com/groups/2115878@N21/
From Wikipedia, "London Stadium (formerly and also known as Olympic Stadium and the Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park) is a multi-purpose outdoor stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the Stratford district of London. It is located in the Lower Lea Valley, 6 miles (10 km) east of central London. The stadium was constructed specifically for the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics, serving as the track-and-field venue and as the site of their opening and closing ceremonies. Following the Games, it was renovated for multi-purpose use, and it now serves primarily as the home of Premier League club West Ham United.
Land preparation for the stadium began in mid-2007, with the construction officially starting on 22 May 2008. The stadium held its first public event in March 2012, serving as the finish line for a celebrity run organised by the National Lottery. Holding 80,000 for the Olympics and the Paralympics, it re-opened in July 2016 with 66,000 seats, but with capacity for football limited to 60,000 under the terms of the lease. The decision to make West Ham United the main tenants was controversial, with the initial tenancy process having to be rerun."

The Schütting, the history: in 1538, the merchants of Bremen charged the Flemish mason and architect Johann den Buschener from Antwerp, who constructed a new building in 1538/39.
Buschener only completed the stepped western gable, which is on the borderline of Late Gothic and of Renaissance style, and the main entrance, which was not yet central.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the façade was altered several times: In 1756, Theophilus Freese removed the decentral entrance by a decent central one and reduced the number of horizontal cornices, thus changing the style to a modest kind of Baroque.
In mid 19th century the line of low shops in front of the basement was removed, and for the first time a twin staircase to the entrance door was built.
In Wilhelminism, people disliked the noble modesty of the building. In 1895 to 1899, the number of corniches was raised and above the windows relief ornaments were placed. The present bombastic portal was constructed.
Above the door, a Low German inscription was added, lately invented by Bremen's mayor Otto Gildemeister
buten un binnen
wagen un winnen
(literally "Outside and in, risk it and win") was added as a motto, meaning that merchants from Bremen are called upon to risk their assets at home and abroad in order to gain fortune.
The building with its magnificent interior and its valuable furnishings burnt to the ground on 6 October 1944. Reconstruction was completed in 1956. Except for the dormers on the façade overlooking the market square, the exterior was rebuilt, as it had been since 1899, while the interior was reconfigured.
In 1951, the chamber of commerce moved into the ground floor. The second stage of the reconstruction took place over the next five years, including the second floor interior. In 2009, the faҫade and copper-covered roof were repaired and the dormers were rebuilt.
Life of a building…

UPDATED caption; CTA streetcar 6225 on the Root-43rd Line, signed for "Stockyards". It is at what is today Root and LaSalle, the area having been drastically reconfigured by the construction of the Dan Ryan expressway (occupying the space just behind where the photographer was standing). The tower visible on the viaduct is still there today, used by Metra.

From Wikipedia, "Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a sporting complex and public park in Stratford, Hackney Wick, Leyton and Bow, in east London. It was purpose-built for the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, situated adjacent to the Stratford City development. It contains the Olympic stadium, now known as the London Stadium, and the Olympic swimming pool together with the athletes' Olympic Village and several other Olympic sporting venues and the London Olympics Media Centre. The park is overlooked by the ArcelorMittal Orbit, an observation tower and Britain's largest piece of public art.
It was simply called The Olympic Park during the Games but was later renamed to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II (though it is not an official Royal Park of London). The park occupies an area straddling four east London boroughs; Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. Part of the park reopened in July 2013, while a large majority of the rest (including the Aquatics Centre, Velopark and Orbit observation tower) reopened in April 2014."

Original Super 8 film by Paul Geiger of EL and Penn Central trains at JO diamonds in Akron. This trackage was reconfigured in the 80s after a Chessie derailment.
Norfolk Southern C44-9W 9917 leads an eastbound intermodal past the station in Elkhart, IN Oct 8 2017. A week later these old signals were removed and all the trackwork in thhis scene was reconfigured.
Since the UP finally relinquished the State Line Yard and surrounding industrial trackage to Jaguar Transport Holdings, LLC's brand new Kansas City West Bottoms Railroad, track work and several different MOW projects have begun. Tracks are being brought back into service, numerous ties are being replaced and redundant and unnecessary cross overs are being removed.
Here, personnel from Vision Industrial along with some from Musselman & Hall are busy removing a crossover from Running Track 120 to Track 202, a stub ended track. Part of the yard will be reconfigured for inbound and outbound tracks, along with a new running track. New switches will be added for a new "laydown yard" for transloading west of the James St overpass.
All parties involved conducted safety briefings prior to beginning work and throughout the job, wearing all necessary PPE. A block for protection on the Big Mary Main Track of the UP KC Metro Sub was granted by the UP Kansas City West Dispatcher. 3/13/25.
It could do with a bit of a clean but considering it's now 30 years old the Richard Rogers designed Lloyds of London building still looks rather spritely.
I'm also reminded somewhat ironically that given the buildings whole 'raison d'être' was that it was flexible and could be easily reconfigured and extended to the best of my knowledge it's remained exactly as it was constructed......
From Wikipedia : "It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis was the management contractor for the scheme. Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The twelve glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK."

I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel folks. I haven't processed or shot for a long time. This is another from the archives.
I've been spending my nights this week setting up my new website. That's good and bad. The good is that it's new and I like it. The bad is that my old site will soon go away and my "view on black" links will no longer work. I'm sure I'll figure something out.
Anyway, check it out at www.sumsion.com and give me your thoughts. it's still a work in progress. If the old black site comes up for you, it simply means that your DNS hasn't updated yet. I just reconfigured the DNS entries about an hour ago. Freshly baked DNS. Mmmmm...
Oh...I should mention that I'm featuring a lot of photography on my site, not just mine. Whenever I fave a shot, it gets posted. Whenever someone submits one of their shots to my Blue Hour group, it gets posted. Proper credit and links back to the original, of course.
Hope you're all doing well. If my site is working in the morning I may actually get to visit your photostreams!
The New York Central established the huge DeWitt yard complex in the 1870s and sitting astride the NYC's four track mainline to Buffalo it was once one of the busiest in the world. Modernized several times over the years it had a 40 track bowl well into the Conrail era and a major locomotive shop but was shut down by that road sometime around 1991 I believe, though I'm not certain. The mainline remains very busy as Conrail successor CSXT's Mohawk Sub and much of the facility has been reconfigured as an intermodal yard and it remains an important hub for swapping blocks and originating trains like my favorite predictable morning run daily into New England, good old I022.
The classifcation bowl has been reduced to mostly stub end tracks and the old hump itself is leveled and the remaining traffic flat switched. This view looks east off the Fremont Street overpass in the middle of the yard and the hump and retarders were once directly underneath. While most of the west end of the 3.5 mile long complex supports intermodal operations, some carload freight business can still be found as seen here.
A crew had just pulled up to the two Gevos and can be seen inspecting the units and releasing the handbrakes. But this bridge and the tight chain link wasn't particularly conducive to photography but I always wanted to see this once great yard so grabbed this shot for posterity and headed on my way west.

It's April 26th 1986, and this brace of helpers is returning west at Gaithersburg, MD. They have finished shoving an eastbound up the Met, and have just used the hand throw crossover immediately west of the Summit Ave grade crossing to get back over to #1 track. The hand throw crossover became obsolete after the Met was reconfigured to 261 in 1991 and Derwood became a dispatcher controlled interlocking. Notice the beginnings of the new Frederick Ave/Rt 355 overpass taking shape in the background. The siding in the foreground was used to to enter the wye where steam helpers were turned before heading west, as well as provided access to Gaithersburg Lumber and Southern States. Behind the B&O GP40 is "Roy's Place" which was famous for a menu of over-the-top sandwhiches, but has since closed and become a Mexican restaurant. Photo by A.D. Saleker, JL Sessa collection.

For the past months I've spent quite some time working on my Diagon Alley "MOC". It's been a labour of love thats for sure and its finalyl come to a point where I can share the progress. It's definitely not done yet. I have a "Quality Quidditch Supply" MOC built digitally waiting for funds. This is a different form of MOC as you've probably spotted both Flourish & Blotts and Weaslys Wizard Weezers sets as well as some models from the original Diagon Alley set released in 2011. The idea for this amalgamation started when in december of 2024 I managed to snag both weasleys and F&B for €85. As soon as that happened I knew I had to combine them with my original set, which have been sitting in a drawer since it was new in 2011.
The plan was to reconfigure the original sets to work with the style introduced with set 75978. The main aspects was to transfer them to 16x32 stud baseplates and great the same styled "sidewalk" as per the newer set. The old ones was also rather skinny so Olivanders and Borgin & Burks have both been extended to feature more expansive interiors. After these to were finished I turned my attention to Gringotts. I knew I wanted to keep the design from the original set but it had to be significantly modified as it's way to small to work in this scale. So I set out to fully rebuild it. I'm most pleased with the result as the beautiful original design remains yet the much larger size gives it a commanding role, something it lacked before. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the interior so that I'll have to share those at later time.
Rob and I have just abseiled down the pinnacle on the right of frame. Rob is just reconfiguring the rope at his end to head off up the next section of the Lagginhorn.
This was an epic challenge to make work in post-production. The lighting was pretty unforgiving (no room for an off camera flash ;) ). I think there's work to be done on the colour version yet, but the black and white looks pretty epic for now, I think!
It's a well-worn figure of speach but the uniquely literal context here was hard to look past...
A few people have noted their fear of heights in previous comments. Not the adventure for you!

Golden Monoliths
par/by SpY
Rue Faidherbe (Rambla), Lille
Imagined for lille3000’s 7th edition, the Golden Monoliths by Spanish artist SpY guide the visitors and participants of the parade to the heart of the city and its Fiesta. The gold titans seem like a modern take on the 17th century city gates, that welcomed the opening of carnivals and processions. They transform the urban landscape of Lille through the installation of fourteen golden shipping containers in a vertical position, aligned along its main street.
This monumental intervention reconfigures the everyday perception of the public environment, turning industrial objects into symbols that alter our understanding of space.
The street ceases to be a simple space of transit and becomes a ritual corridor, a passageway between
Originally conceived as utilitarian structures for global transportation and trade, the containers are decontextualized and coated in gold. Far from being a decorative gesture, this treatment converts their industrial purpose into an artistic resignification that oscillates between the functional and the symbolic.
SpY subverts the original identity of the containers through an installation that transforms the utilitarian into the mythological, in an exercise in spatial perception that invites reflection on the cult of consumption in modern society.

---------------------
À l’image des portes de ville du 17ème siècle qui accueillaient l’ouverture des carnavals et des processions, les Golden Monoliths de l’artiste espagnol SpY guident le public et les participants à la parade au cœur de la ville et de sa Fiesta. Ils transforment le paysage urbain de Lille avec quatorze conteneurs dorés érigés à la verticale le long de la rue Faidherbe.
Cette intervention monumentale reconfigure notre vision quotidienne de la ville, transforme des objets industriels en symboles qui modifient notre perception de l’espace.
À l’origine conçues comme des structures utilitaires pour le transport et le commerce global, les conteneurs sont décontextualisés et peints en or. Loin d’être un geste décoratif, cette métamorphose vient bouleverser leur essence industrielle et leur confère un sens artistique entre fonction et symbole, utilité et mythologie.
After departing the Greenfield Village Roundhouse, Locomotive #1 "Edison" backs down the roundhouse track toward the main line, where she will pick up her train and become a second section on the daily shuttle train around the village. This image was captured during the annual "Old Car Festival", when the Greenfield Village Railroad typically runs a pair of trains during the high-traffic hours. And of course, at this event, there is no shortage of vintage vehicles constantly plying the streets of the village.
Locomotive #1, named for Henry Ford's friend, Thomas Edison, is a pretty unique little engine. A product of the Manchester Locomotive Works, she started out life in 1870 as an 0-4-0 switcher, but when she was acquired by Henry Ford, over 60 years later, Henry wanted a 4-4-0 and had her reconfigured in his Rouge Shops in Dearborn. Some may say that she's a mongrel and not historic or authentic....but she's been in this configuration for 90 years!
Originally, the car hood ornament was developed as a practicality, to cover up the access point for the radiator in the front or center of the hood. Over time, cars were reconfigured, and this point of access was no longer necessary, but the car hood ornament remained, usually bedecked in chrome so that it would stand out against the base paint of the car.

FEC GP40-2 #435 shoves about 8 platforms of double stack land bridge to Quality Container in Miami, FL. This remnant of the old Kendall Branch was part of the old Little River Belt Line connecting to the main line to Florida City and Key West near SW 88th St and US1. This portion in particular has always been industrial, but was reconfigured in 2017 when FECI leased the land to Quality Container. Every other day or so they handle containers either brought in from the Port Train or brought in on mainline trains. As of Summer 2022, Happy Floors transloads from the south end of this property.

6844 Seismologic Vehicle (1983) seems like a more advanced version of 6841 Mineral Detector, taking advantage of the balloon tires and reconfigured tow hinge.
I rarely photograph trains here despite working a mile away but made an exception because I wanted to photograph 1030. While waiting around I shot 14 trains in 50 min including four different models of locomotive...I suppose it's not that boring after all!
Only a minute after shooting train eight headed outbound trains 9 and 10 raced themselves inbound. Train 212 from Bradford has won the race and can be partially seen on the Boston side of the river while still crossing the Charles River drawbridge on Main 4 is train 406 arriving from Wachusett with F40PH-3C 1050 handling the duties on the hind end.
For now the last relics from Boston and Maine days remain clustered here including the vintage dwarf signals, the drawbridges and the tower itself which was built during the B&M's 1926-1932 reconfiguration of the terminal and the then new Boston Engine Terminal. The two story steel frame and brick structure replaced an earlier tower located on the south side of the Charles. It was placed in service on September 27, 1931 with an original electrical board containing 211 levers! Until 2021 the drawbridge operator still worked out of it but today it serves no purpose at all.
The two bascule bridges also date from that same year when the navigable channel of the Charles River was shifted 300 feet to the north of its former route to allow the platforms at North Station to be extended. At the time of their construction two additional spans were built just to the west with a total of 8 tracks crossing the river serving 22 platform tracks vs only 10 today.
All of this is on borrowed time however, as the MBTA is embarking on a nearly one billion dollar project to replace the aging and failure prone spans and reconfigure Tower A. Ultimately these last vestiges of the Route of the Minuteman will fall to the wrecking ball and cutting torch and three new vertical lift spans are supposed to rise in their place allowing for six tracks to cross the river and the addition of two more platform tracks.
Rising above at left can be seen the obelisk towers and cable stays of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial suspension bridge built in 2003 as part of the infamous Big Dig project that saw Interstate 93 removed from its elevated pathway through the heart of the city and buried beneath it.
