My visit to Montgomery, Alabama was one of the most eye-opening and disturbing parts of the entire 9,000 mile journey. I don't really have the words to describe it, nor the photos to illustrate it. The reason for that is to follow.
19M crawls up the grade towards Christiansburg as a light rain falls. UP 7962 leads out of the Montgomery Tunnels with the redbuds in full bloom on the hillside behind.
BN GP30 2740 leads the way of the Menard local as it switches out the BJRY interchange in Montgomery, IL>
…….A good walk up from the Castle here for super views weather permitting - it wasn’t when we walked up!! Blooming windy up top it was and poor visibility - must try again sometime! Hope your W/End is going well, 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;-)👏👏👏👏👏

Montgomery Place, now Bard College: The Montgomery Place Campus, near Barrytown, New York, United States, is an early 19th-century estate that has been designated a National Historic Landmark. It is also a contributing property to the Hudson River Historic District, itself a National Historic Landmark.[5] It is a Federal-style house, with expansion designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis.[6] It reflects the tastes of a younger, post-Revolutionary generation of wealthy landowners in the Livingston family who were beginning to be influenced by French trends in home design, moving beyond the strictly English models exemplified by Clermont Manor a short distance up the Hudson River. It is the only Hudson Valley estate house from this era that survives intact, and Davis's only surviving neoclassical country house.[7]
………All very peaceful today - I guess not so back in the day.……

No Montgomery County Fair this year. Like so many, it was cancelled due to the pandemic. This was from last year.

CPL signals still reign at this classic N&W location...for now. Replacements have been up for the better part of the year, as seen in this view of a short 189 doing battle against the mountain grade with only a single unit for power.
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.

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.
