recycled buildings

I had forgotten about this thread. I'm wondering if this thread might make a good sticky for this forum. At this point the only sticky in the Upper Berth is the one for the Big Blue Store.

Agreed.

Stone Church Restaurant, they serve soul food

It costs you your soul to eat there! Bit pricey, but a great experience. Anniversary and birthday dinner kind of place. Shoes and shirts required.

Here are a couple from my town of Boonton. First the Lackawanna's freight station, now a dance studio. Except for paint, pretty much as was. You can see the nose of a NJ Transit E8 in the background, part of the old yard here was relaid and is storing equipment bound for a museum...someday.
   

And this was the passenger station in Boonton, down the line from the freight station perhaps 1/2 mile. Now a gay bar.
   

Here is the present NJ Transit "station" in Boonton

The former CNR Express warehouse at Brantford, Ontario, now used by the MoW Dept.:


The former CNR station at Jordan Station, seen here a couple of blocks from the tracks and in-use as a private home:


The former CPR station at Goderich, Ontario, now owned by that town's Works Dept., and used for storage:


The first Grimsby, Ontario train station, built by the Great Western Rwy. (later CNR) in the 1850s. It's shown here, in at least its fourth incarnation, as a pottery and antique dealership. Previously it was a lumber outlet, and before that, an agricultural supply dealer. It was moved about 100' from its original location when the "new" station was built:






Here's its replacement, built by the CNR:


It later became a roadhouse-type bar and restaurant, while continuing to function as a station, served by CN (later VIA) and Amtrak:


It eventually burned to the ground, but has been replace by a glass and steel shelter, still served by VIA and Amtrak.

I don't know for what this building was used originally, but I doubt that it was either a bowling alley or the BAP's main plant:

This is the only brick depot built by the Grand Trunk along the line from Toronto to Montreal. Now in use as Memory Junction museum.

The former Lehigh & New England roundhouse and loco shops in Pen Argyl PA. now owned by a welding Co.

   
Jersey Centrals passenger station in Bethlehem PA. now used as a restaurant.

The old DRG roundhouse in Colorado Springs is now the Van Briggle pottery showplace. Beautiful structure.



And from above/Google Earth:

Correction: The Colorado Midland/Midland Terminal Roundhouse. Chief rival to the D&RG and principal reason that the D&RG mainline was converted to SG.


Here in Cincinnati, our gorgeous Union Terminal is our museum center:

The famed CSX Queensgate yard is north of the NS yard you see in the aerial.

Ya know...with stuff like this in the same thread it almost seems too damned easy.
