I'm not sure what that factory is, but that freight train is obviously loaded with new automobiles.

This is one of the throats to Breclav yard, on the Czech-Austrian border. In the old days, our passports would have been checked here, but not anymore.

This was the beginning of my next train trip, to Wien, or Vienna, in Austria. I had been to Austria three times already, but had never visited Vienna or any other major city, so this would be my first look at urban Austria. As is often the case on Eurocity Trains, our locomotive was a Class 371 electric.

This dining hall is actually relatively small. I had to use the flash to get this shot, though. I presume that most of the furniture is reproduction, perhaps dating to the 1930's reconstruction.

I have a few different photos like this in my photostream. I don't know why I like window photos like this, but I have quite a few displayed.

I can't tell if that cloudy streak on the left was in the sky, or if it was a film defect, but it's kind of interesting in any case. Here you can see the unrestored, burst castle turret, in roughly the same place.

I ended up in Wales for my New Year's break again in 2011-2012, and one of the trips I took there was to Caerphilly Castle, which I surprisingly had not visited yet. It was easy to get there by train, although strangely I don't have photos. Lately, I've been lazy about taking train photos. The original Caerphilly Castle was completed in 1290 by Gilbert de Clare, whose French name was typical of the era, which was Norman-dominated. More notoriously, de Clare is implicated in the Canterbury Pogrom of 1264, which some historians, like Richard Huscroft, claim he led. He also had poor relations with the Roman Catholic church, being excommunicated within months of the pogrom. Biographies of de Clare are available online, both with and without paywalls. One of the free ones is here:

The castle, as it currently stands, is a restoration from the 1930's. However, some parts of the castle have been left unrestored. For example, one tower has been left cracked open. I have additional photos of it which will be posted next.
