Built in the early 1990s and closed for unknown reasons during the late winter or spring 2009, it was seasonally busy with the transloading of fertilizer components potash and ammonium nitrate into farm trucks.
The backgound buildings are what remain of the former B&O/Chessie carshops, leftover from the "St. Louis mainline" era up to 1985.

Eight years earlier, in 1984, the carshops were pretty active. This shot was taken next to the truck shop.
Canadian National "shoving platform" IC 199500 is a longtime central Illinois resident. Built in Illinois Central's Centralia, IL carshop in 1968, it was originally numbered 9500. Here it sits with a handful of tank cars as a thunderstorm passes to the north of Dewey, Illinois.
The Southern Railway car shop (car repair sheds) in Alexandria stood at South Payne and Wilkes Streets.
I believe the structures may have dated to the Orange & Alexandria Railroad and US Military Railroads era during the Civil War. The wooden sheds may very well have been the same shop in which Abraham Lincoln's Presidential car was built. Compare with the twin wood structures in the 1865 Library of Congress photo below, taken from approximately the same position.

The twin wooden structures are clearly marked on the 1907 Sanborn insurance map of Alexandria. At that time, two tracks led into each bay. Sanborn maps of 1941 and 1958 identify these frame structures as Car Repair Sheds.The structures were demolished in the 1990s.

This is an old car shop in Colchester, CT. I wanted to try out some HDR and I thought the run-down look of the building and parking lot would lend itself to an interesting shot.
This is made up of 5 shots (EV:-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) and combined in Photomatix Pro. It was then edited in Ps CS5.

Rumour had it that this old girl was retired and scrapped sometime in the 80's. That being said, local management was pretty surprised to receive a phone call from the contractor hired to dismantle an unused spur nearby. Word came down the line that this old girl was found with a few boxcars on a siding near the end of the spur. The boxcars are doomed but 55696 will possibly survive. A special move was orchestrated to pull her out of the weeds for a trip to the carshop. Following a more thorough inspection a decision will be made on what to do with her.
