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.
Made especially for the Shock of the New challenge #66, "CONSTRUCTION"

This is an ancient cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana. The buildings are mausoleums that are in constant repair.
CSX SD40-3 4035 and GP38-3 2063 work on switching cars in Taft yard on a gloomy and wet July evening.
AMSTERDAM - One of the most iconic domes of Netherlands (The historical Aviation dome Schiphol) will get a second life in Amsterdam; the first circular Convention location of the Netherlands, it opens the doors in the autumn. In the background the A5.

Taken over a decade ago, but I only found this on another hard disc I last updated in 2010 recently.
Seen here on spare wheels, it's about to have a chassis clean and repaint, followed by the bodywork paintwork after a conversion from a hard top to Station wagon.
Given a faded treatment.
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.
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.
UP 5734, a graduate from Wabtec's C44ACM rebuild program, leads the ZDVLB 30 intermodal through Henefer, Utah on Aug. 30, 2024. Wabtec Corporation purchased GE Transportation in 2019.
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.

A different angle of a recent post showing a line of derelict Westerns.
I have no idea why those steps are next to Western Guardsman unless someone was safety conscious about getting into a loco the usual way from ground level. Perhaps the grab rails are missing?
1025 is the first of the Westerns to be built from new without head boars clips. Swindon did the same with 1026, 1027 1028 and 1029. Collision damage requiring cab rebuild was done and clips were not fitted. Several Westerns ended up like this but with clips still at the other end. It is possible to identify the A and B cab ends if you can see the side of the Western as there is a panel fitted at only at one end. Needless to say I can never remember which end it is fitted!
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.
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.
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.
Easing under the iconic McQuesten High Level Bridge, an eclectic trio of EMD rebuilds guide CPKC train no. 236 into Hamilton, Ontario.
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.

Built for the Lands of Roawia Global Challenge IX - The Recovery.

With the threat in Garheim finally vanquished, Jørn Jakobsen oversees the effort to rebuild the fallen prosperity of Garheim. The determination and resolve of the Garhim people keeps spirits high, even in face of their ruined cities and towns, and the process of rebuilding, both physically and mentally, will not take much longer.
CN 322 in Montreal on Friday morning with a rebuilt leader (SD75ACC CN 8308). It was rebuilt from SD75I CN 5662. It's nice to see these getting rebuilt and that they retained their teardrop windshields.
With a "SD40-2" heading for Galesburg on the former Burlington out of Peoria, it still looked all the world like a SD45-2 to me.
Bullt in 1972 as a Santa Fe SD45-2, it was worth a few pixels even if coming out of the sun.
CSX CW44AC 503 sits on point of Q20305 at Manchester, GA as they work on doubling their short train out of the yard as a northbound manifest pulls in for a crew change beside them.
Q203s consist would include CSX 503 (YN2), CSX 9015 (YN2) and 35 loaded autoracks bound for Baldwin, FL. My friend and I would proceed to chase this train home down nearly the entire Fitzgerald Subdivision (might as well stay entertained on our long drive back to Jacksonville!). At CP Haywood near Waycross, the train combined with I143 then proceeded to south Waycross where they would await a new crew.
