Christchurch , NZ
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.

A trio of former IC GP10's feel right at home on the former IC Amboy District now owned by the Illinois Terminal Belt railroad. Here we see the trio of rebuilds slowly moving a grain train through Wapella Illinois.
CP 7033 and 7001 bracket a GEVO on train 281, wheeling west out of Milwaukee on a warm spring day with the Miller brewery in the background. I didn't realize it at the time, but for lack of anything else to do, I'd end up chasing this train halfway across the state.
Y&S 8343 and 1706 navigate one of the numerous rock cuts along the line between Signal and Darlington. 8343 is a former ICG Paducah rebuild GP10 that's been on the railroad for nearly 20 years now.
Launching my website and facebook page last week I thought I would check which images I'd taken that i'd include in my portfolio so revisited the mass upload I did last year and decided to reprocess some that slipped under the radar..using Lightroom. From a trip to Croatia when I went into Bosnia for a day to see this amazing structure in Mostar which was completely destroyed during the war there 20 years ago the locals reproduced it incredibly well and its now lit up spectacularly.
"The Veteran in a New Field" by Winslow Homer was painted shortly after General Robert E. Lee surrendered and the assignation of President Lincoln. A time to heal from a dark past and a "powerful meditation on America's sacrifices and its potential for recovery."
Armchair warriors often fail
And they've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie

Even though the nation is now recovering from a war of delusion I'm thinking that painting describes today's events just as well.

I used to live next to this beach and there is a fella who has a hut. He rebuilds DOW Racers. Kinda like the details in the old wood.
I think I found the cleanest unit on UP's roster at the end of 2021. Freshly rebuilt UP 6159 leads an empty soda ash train through southeast Houston as it heads back to the hills of southwest Wyoming.

Easing under the iconic McQuesten High Level Bridge, an eclectic trio of EMD rebuilds guide CPKC train no. 236 into Hamilton, Ontario.
I truly dislike pretty much everything about CN's AC44C6Ms, but one thing you can't complain about is how spotless most are. So when presented an opportunity to shoot one leading at Paris in some gorgeous evening light, I certainly didn't pass up.
This locomotive was used to pull a truck out of a ditch days after I took this photo in a now viral social media video.
On a cool March evening, NS baretable train 205 sits in the siding at Gary, IN. The NS power was having issues, so a pair of fresh CN AC44C6M rebuilds came out from Kirk Yard to assist.
