Building the Intercolonial Railway back in the 1860s and 1870s was not for the faint of heart. ICR Chief Engineer Sanford Fleming endured more than a decade of engineering challenges in order to link Halifax with the western markets of Quebec City and Montreal.
A few site were more complicated than others like this one, located a mile and a half west of St.Noël, Fleming, in order to save the cost of building a bridge over Tartigou River, had it's construction crew bore a tunnel thru the rock in order to reroute the river away from the not yet constructed roadbed.
Talk about ingenuity !
The rock debris, issued when ICR crews pierced the roadbed thru the same rock cut, was used to stabilize the embankment along with keeping an acceptable rolling grade.
I made the walk -in heavy rain no less- from St.Noël to the tunnel on a cold autumn day, hoping to catch Campbellton-bound L562 passing the site of one of Fleming's legacy.

I probably should have posted this before yesterday's offering which was taken in the afternoon. I believe I went to the park three times on that day as weather was still mild, very much unlike what we are experiencing here now with a polar vortex casting its icy air upon us.
Taken at 9:16 AM just as the sun was poking over the horizon. I could not resist yet another shot of these relocated boulders under this amazing golden hour light.
Two clicks to full view.
im almost 100 percent sure this was the last time we shot in this field; its since been fenced off. which is so totally unfair.

UP GP40-2 1361 leads a local in Superior, WI. Once a regular unit on the Harvard Sub, the elimination of ATS in favor of PTC has caused it to be reassigned up here to the other end of Wisconsin.
thanks to brenda starr for the texture...she has free ones available at www.flickr.com/photos/brenda-starr/4485511681/in/pool-140.... if i can get my head around textures i'll definitely be saving up for some of the flypapers from borealnz...jill your images are amazing and i'm saving my $'s :).
starting to get colder here so i'm jealous of all the spring shots from my contacts. thought i'd enjoy a tasty mac's dark beer and have some fun in photoshop. have a great weekend everyone!

Constructed in June 1922 after the Great War, is now also a memorial to the fallen heroes of World War II and the Korean War.
Recently relocated as part of the reconstruction of Memorial Square and Meridian Place.
Watch how it was moved...

Today’s contribution to my 365 was inspired (or uninspired ?) by the fact that I’ve spent a lot of time this morning taking phonecalls from hospital depts . rescheduling and relocating future appointments due to the resurgence of Covid in Wales. Read more here :-
Ever since I relocated to the prairie full time, in 2011, Waterton has been one of my favourite spots for photographing wildflowers. It's only a day's drive from my home, and because its ecosystems include both prairie grasslands and mountains, a great many species can be found. Among the beauties there is the delicate-looking, creamy white and yellow Mariposa Lily.

I don't care for staging shots at all, but sometimes, when I find a bug on the side of the house, shooting it right there can make for a pretty boring backgound. This broad-nosed weevil is the species Otiorhynchus raucus and it was one of those - on the (light grey) side of the house.
I therefore took the liberty of relocating it two meters and place it one a leaf in the garden and proceeded to shoot it there instead.
This was shot at 2.7:1 magnification and is a short focus stack of three exposures as it was kind enough to stay still for me.
From our adventures up north. The Eagle had a fish with no plans to relocate so I took advantage of the photo op.

Another sample shot from the PZ16-50 kit lens. Light was extremely blah here, so I went with the flow and desaturated further by just a wee bit. Two clicks to full view.
I was thrilled to find these boulders in their new location. During late summer I had spoken with a couple of town employees that were doing some bobcat work around the monument boulder area. I mentioned to them how the Hill was the central focal point of the entire park and how the boulders that were stored on the hill looked poor with the bright orange snow fence surrounding them. The fence was placed there so that tobogganers would not crash into the boulders.
Well it took a while, but there is no more bright orange snow fence ruining shots of the hill. I like to think that I had something to do with the relocation. And their new location close to the edge of the pond is great with the hill in the background. No doubt I will be shooting these more in the future, in fact I should have a post coming up within a week.
CPR Water Tower was bult in 1904 in the District of MacGregor and relocated in 1987 to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum Homesteaders' Village in Austin Manitoba Canada
This water tower was originally built by the CPR at MacGregor and donated and moved to the Museum in 1987. It is the only water tower known to have been moved.
When rail lines were constructed through Manitoba, the railways had to construct water towers along the lines as steam locomotives needed water on a regular basis. These tanks were constructed at regular intervals along rail lines These towers held about 40,000 gallons (about 180,000 litres) of water and would enable the locomotives to fill quickly and frequently.
In most cases, water had to be pumped into the water towers from a lake or creek. At times the railways had to construct significant facilities to supply water to the track side tanks. The MacGregor tower was gravity filled from Jacksons Lake, seven miles south of Sidney, some 15 miles from MacGregor. In other cases, dams were built on creeks or rivers to assure the railway of an adequate supply.
The tower is 54 feet high and consists of two separate structures. The 40,000 gallon inner tub is made of 3″ thick cedar and is supported by 16′ square timbers, 22′ high in the air. The height provides the gravity pressure needed to fill the locomotives.
The outer shell, which is not attached to the tub, simply serves as an insulated cover for the water. By having a stove at the bottom of the building during the winter months, the outside shell would prevent the water from freezing. It was quite common that railway water towers in eastern Canada did not have the outer shell as winter weather was not as severe as in Western Canada. These outer shells were not often found on US railroads either as these roads were further south enjoying warmer winter weather.
CPR and CNR wooden water tower designs were quite similar. Apparently the CNoP, a predecessor to the CNR, and the CPR had a close relationship with each other when the CNoP first appeared as MacKenzie and Mann, owners of the CNoP, had been very reliable construction contractors for the CPR. They were able to borrow a number of building plans from the CPR which partially explains why CPR and CNR buildings in the west often appear quite similar.

From our relocation trip across the US... again :) This time we took i40. waaaay better. This was from a quick stop (15mins!) at the Meteor Crater near Flagstaff Arizona. Still experimenting with some of the stitching. This one could use a bit more work, have a couple others to work with. More versions to follow.

BNSF 5156 heads south on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. (track mark west) with the final CitiRail power move, the D-ALNSTL3 27T, here at Mp. 28 at Machens, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO. near the Anheuser Busch brewery.
We followed a caravan through the cattle drive. You can see how orderly they generally were. Barraba, New South Wales.
Den Gamble By (The Old Town) in Aarhus is an open-air museum of urban history and culture in Denmark through three centuries.
The museum consists of more than 75 historic houses relocated from all over Denmark.
This section corresponds to the XIX century.
Relocated in a beautiful little park just downstream from the confluence of the East and West Forks of Tanner's Creek. Many busloads of elementary school kids visit this park every year.
I just thought I needed to know
when things become skew-whiff
and recollection is on the go
for reality to steal the show, as if!
that solace is found in the comfort of memory
a souvenir footnote at the end of the day
visually situate, that moment no longer allusory
for it's finding is now here to stay!

With the reinstatement into the Imperial War Machine, I found myself and my brothers in arms relocated to the planet BATUU. At the time of the operation, it was unclear as to the importance, but myself and the courageous men of the Fist were confident that we were taking part in what would be written in the books of history. That our lives, our contributions, would echo for eternity.
At the time, our reformed Empire was making bold statements through movements, occupations, liberations, extractions and of course, reformations of systems across the galaxy. The Old Republic needed to be torn down, replaced with true Justice, Order and to exterminate the Enemies of the people, such as the traitorous Knights we called the Jedi. Their beliefs are outdated, allowed to survive off the backs of the less educated, informed, swindled portions of the population. To this we say no more.
We arrived on BATUU with our ferocious, fearless and without flaw, brutal Lord, with the task to eliminate the Enemies of the people. Our Empire made sure the Fist was well equipped for any and all Foe we were to encounter here. With weapon caches for entire fleets, modified vehicles to keep our troopers secured, we scoured the planet for any signs. Time went on, we went on. During the liberation, we were informed about the continued efforts of reform at the heart of our democracy, Coruscant.
It was silent, too silent. At this point, several rotations had passed us, no signs. Our officers, and even at one point Lord Vader, assumed that our Enemies had left us. Deep down though, I knew this to be different. This was a group of crusaders that had existed for tens of thousands of years. If we turned a blind eye now, they would simply return, and in greater numbers. - Commander Hock
One picture I really wanted to capture from the Dark Times Occupation of Batuu Collaboration was one with Commander Hock, Lord Vader and the Fist. I was super pleased with capturing this shot just in time at the convention and I think it gives the appropriate setting for these characters. In addition to this being a separate shot to showcase Hock, this is also a scene entry for Dark Times.

Key West Cemetery was relocated from Higgs Beach to this site in 1847 after being ravaged by a hurricane the previous year.Over 75000 people are interred here in in-ground and crypt style graves,given the closeness to sea level.Some prominent memorials in the cemetery include those to the Battleship Maine Disaster and one honoring those who served in the 1868 Cuban Revolution.Cultural diversity is in prominent display here as sites range from elaborate markers to simple headstones.
A Florida State Historic site...
This amazing Prairie Falcon is getting ready to 'relocate'...it's such a thrill to see these cool birds up close and personal!
I was once told, early in my birding days, that these falcons were common...I never found that to be true!?
Thank you for your visit and comments.
