……Yes there is a castle ruin here believe me - it’s just off right but to be honest I was more taken up with this little scene with an old iron fence, due to lockdowns and closed borders into Wales I think I’d have come back here again & again! This for me is a shot for all seasons, this is late summer - perhaps 2021 will be the year?!?. HFF & I hope you have a great W/End, stay local & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

NKP 765 gets topped off from the Montgomery, WV fire department on the homeward leg of a Huntington-Hinton New River Train round trip excursion. A sharp eye will note duct tape covering the window of the lead dome, an en route repair made when a tree fell down onto the train at Cotton Hill during a short, but intense storm.
…… Had a day trip today to just over the Shropshire border into Wales to visit Montgomery, a small market town which happened to be today too. Walked up to the castle to admire the views, love this little bit with pond - the castle is behind me. Alan:-).…….

What do you like to photograph the most?
No Montgomery County Fair this year. Like so many, it was cancelled due to the pandemic. This was from last year.

780's conductor (real happy guy) steps down to pull the train by and call in the clear for the run-around.

In the ABC comedy show Bewitched (1964–1972), Elizabeth Montgomery played witch Samantha Stephens.
Lots of burnt up slot machines in the back room of the casino. Also a safe. This is a most interesting location, besides the burned out casino there are about 12-15 houses, two motels, a restaurant, truck repair garage and lots of sheds and smaller buildings. On US6 at Montgomery Pass. A real ghost town with a US Highway running right through it.
Located on US Highway 6, "the loneliest road" in Mineral County, Nevada. This is part of the series of the loneliest tourist attractions on US6. Not all are abandoned joints.
The Montgomery being a Liberty ship from WW 2 that lies where she sank during the last world war.
she was at anchor and slipped her mooring position.
She is as the locals know full of HE and various types of weaponry, fairly safe as explosives do not travel with fuses in.
Her masts are visible until they spend a vast fortune removing them after 70 odd years as they are becoming unstable due to wind and sea.
Ships pass endlessly on their travels to and from docks up River and have done since she sank in August 1944.
Her Masts will have gone but she with her cargo will still be under the surface decaying as wrecks do.
C&NW 1771's caboose rolls by as 212 is ready to head out of the siding at Montgomery MN. in May 1976.
This scene is off a small dirt road in the Montgomery area. The ponds were made by the current owner from a stream that runs through the property, and his friend built the little covered bridge. He generously agreed to let me walk around his property to take the photo.
Another shot from last year's trip to Montgomery Castle, Shropshire
This was a lovely warm Summer night and the rising Moon lit the Castle ruins beautifully

No trip to the main line of the Norfolk and Western west of Roanoke would be complete without a stop at the twin Montgomery tunnels. Here, extra 858 west, long hood forward in accord with then N&W practice, brings its train through the iconic location near Christiansburg, Virginia.
Montgomery Place was built in 1804 by Janet Livingston Montgomery, the widow of Richard Montgomery, the first general officer killed in the Revolutionary War. In the 1840s (and again in the 1860s), Alexander Jackson Davis reconstructed the house, turning the federal style home into a Classical Revival mansion, adding porches, urn-capped balustrades, and one-story wings. The open porch on the house’s north side is considered the first outdoor room in America. With advice from Andrew Jackson Downing, the 434-acre grounds also went through changes, and an arboretum was planted, scenic trails and carriage roads were laid out, and gazebos and rustic seats were sited for viewing the mountains, river, and a nearby waterfall. In the 20th century, a series of formal gardens were planted. Both trails and gardens have been restored, and the grounds are available for a stroll, hike, or picnic. Bard College purchased the property in 2016 and it is now part of Bard's nearly 1000-acre campus.
These two houses are just on the bend and directly across the street from the Montgomery town common, where we had stopped for lunch. The lunch counter at the local gas station makes a pretty good sandwich, which is quite common in Vermont.
