No idea where number 1 is, but I suspect it may fit Graham's last category and have been taken from a cruise ship.
(not that I've ever been on a cruise ship, so I could be very wrong).

Some good identifications - and for those left,
one was taken from a train
one I had arrived by train
and one could have been by train - IDENIFIED - Cadiz
One is in the British Isles
one is in the USA (someone got the country) - IDENIFIED - New York
and the final one of the six not yet identified does not match any of those clues!)

Picture no. 1 does match one of the other clues, though. |

Have you been on a British Isles cruise? If so picture 1 could be Scottish Western Isles.

Yep ... Claggain Bay, Islay - Sound of Jura - on P&O Iona on 23rd August 2021 Simples. A fantastic week from Southampton |

Yep - that's the one without any rail connection and I am amazed it has been identified. Just two left - one from a train, and one at the destination I reached by train |

6. Sicily. Probably somewhere near Taormina (which does have a rail service).

Sicily, correct. Actually Syracuse, which like Penzance is at the end of the line and has sleeper services. |

Just this one left 3. Taken from the train, travelling on my late 2022 Interrail pass on a wonderful journey that lasted from the afternoon deep, deep into the evening on a line with marvellous views and a very infrequent service indeed and just about the longest single line section I have ever encountered. It's not always been like that - a number of rusted loops suggest to me that it was capable of carrying a far greater service in the quite recent past. |

Correct - actually looked back ay it and more accurate that my "Ribadeo" automated label. On the north coast of Spain on the narrow gauge line on one of the twice-daily trains from Oviedo to Ferrol, with a three hour each way single line section from Pravia to Ribadeo. Lots of little halts along the way, some at which only one of the two trains calls. Even on one train calling, the timing is "right" for some traffic like school, and the first few miles are electrified with a more frequent service that turns back there while the diesel is out behind. A lovely trip perhaps to do again though it can never have the magic of that first run again. |

A lovely trip perhaps to do again though it can never have the magic of that first run again. The description of that line given as a clue did take me to it, but it's very long. Fortunately there are only a few places it overlooks a river, inlet, or estuary that could be the one pictured. And once found, the odd building in the middle is convincing proof, isn't it? Might even be unique ... until you find a slightly classier one less than 50 m along the road. ( 43.491214° -7.036657°) |
