Our new worship pastor leads in today's worship service! This was a special Sunday for us since we had the new worship pastor, Pastor Archie Jackson. He also had his 'sidekick' Jonathon to play by his side in today's praise and worship service. Songs that we sang in today's worship service included: 'Today Is The Day', 'This Is Amazing Grace', 'Our God', and 'The Church'. The last song (The Church) was a new song for us. We also acknowledged him along with his wife during the worship service. We welcome you to our church, Pastor Archie Jackson! This was at The Point Church of the Nazarene in San Jose, CA.
Enjoy the video and be blessed! This is video part 1 of 2.

1103 leads GL110 and a rake of loaded ballast hoppers down the short north enroute to Chullora ex Broadmeadow. This is believed to be the first mainline run of the new locomotive during it's commissioning phase.
Imported from the USA and built by National Railway Equipment (NRE) in Paducah, Kentucky, QUBE logistics (aka at POTA) have invested in a fleet of these new 1100 class locomotives for there operations. At present two are currently in the country in service (1101 & 1103 - Pictured) with 1104 & 1108 expected to be in service in coming months.
"The Carinthian road is next to the Graben, one of the most famous streets in the Vienna city center. It begins at Karlsplatz or Friedrichstrasse and leads past the Vienna State Opera straight to the center of Vienna, Stephansplatz and St. Stephen's Cathedral. There the pedestrian zone is continued in a westerly direction by the moat. In a north-easterly direction, after Stephansplatz, Rotenturmstraße connects, which leads to the Danube Canal.
Vienna (/viˈɛnə/; German: Wien [viːn]) is the national capital, largest city, and one of nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's most populous city, with about 1.9 million inhabitants (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of the country's population), and its cultural, economic, and political center. It is the 6th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, Vienna was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today, it is the second-largest German-speaking city after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations, OPEC and the OSCE. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger. Additionally to being known as the "City of Music" due to its musical legacy, as many famous classical musicians such as Beethoven and Mozart who called Vienna home. Vienna is also said to be the "City of Dreams", because of it being home to the world's first psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. Vienna's ancestral roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city. It is well known for having played a pivotal role as a leading European music center, from the age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic center of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque palaces and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.
Vienna is known for its high quality of life. In a 2005 study of 127 world cities, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the city first (in a tie with Vancouver and San Francisco) for the world's most livable cities. Between 2011 and 2015, Vienna was ranked second, behind Melbourne. In 2018, it replaced Melbourne as the number one spot and continued as the first in 2019. For ten consecutive years (2009–2019), the human-resource-consulting firm Mercer ranked Vienna first in its annual "Quality of Living" survey of hundreds of cities around the world. Monocle's 2015 "Quality of Life Survey" ranked Vienna second on a list of the top 25 cities in the world "to make a base within." The UN-Habitat classified Vienna as the most prosperous city in the world in 2012/2013. The city was ranked 1st globally for its culture of innovation in 2007 and 2008, and sixth globally (out of 256 cities) in the 2014 Innovation Cities Index, which analyzed 162 indicators in covering three areas: culture, infrastructure, and markets. Vienna regularly hosts urban planning conferences and is often used as a case study by urban planners. Between 2005 and 2010, Vienna was the world's number-one destination for international congresses and conventions. It attracts over 6.8 million tourists a year.
Evidence has been found of continuous habitation in the Vienna area since 500 BC, when Celts settled the site on the Danube. In 15 BC the Romans fortified the frontier city they called Vindobona to guard the empire against Germanic tribes to the north.
Close ties with other Celtic peoples continued through the ages. The Irish monk Saint Colman (or Koloman, Irish Colmán, derived from colm "dove") is buried in Melk Abbey and Saint Fergil (Virgil the Geometer) served as Bishop of Salzburg for forty years. Irish Benedictines founded twelfth-century monastic settlements; evidence of these ties persists in the form of Vienna's great Schottenstift monastery (Scots Abbey), once home to many Irish monks.
In 976, Leopold I of Babenberg became count of the Eastern March, a district centered on the Danube on the eastern frontier of Bavaria. This initial district grew into the duchy of Austria. Each succeeding Babenberg ruler expanded the march east along the Danube, eventually encompassing Vienna and the lands immediately east. In 1145 Duke Henry II Jasomirgott moved the Babenberg family residence from Klosterneuburg in Lower Austria to Vienna. From that time, Vienna remained the center of the Babenberg dynasty.
In 1440 Vienna became the resident city of the Habsburg dynasty. It eventually grew to become the de facto capital of the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) in 1437 and a cultural center for arts and science, music and fine cuisine. Hungary occupied the city between 1485 and 1490.
In the 16th and 17th centuries Christian forces twice stopped Ottoman armies outside Vienna, in the 1529 Siege of Vienna and the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The Great Plague of Vienna ravaged the city in 1679, killing nearly a third of its population.
In 1804, during the Napoleonic Wars, Vienna became the capital of the newly formed Austrian Empire. The city continued to play a major role in European and world politics, including hosting the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Vienna remained the capital of what became the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city functioned as a center of classical music, for which the title of the First Viennese School (Haydn/Mozart/Beethoven) is sometimes applied.
During the latter half of the 19th century, Vienna developed what had previously been the bastions and glacis into the Ringstraße, a new boulevard surrounding the historical town and a major prestige project. Former suburbs were incorporated, and the city of Vienna grew dramatically. In 1918, after World War I, Vienna became capital of the Republic of German-Austria, and then in 1919 of the First Republic of Austria.
From the late-19th century to 1938 the city remained a center of high culture and of modernism. A world capital of music, Vienna played host to composers such as Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler and Richard Strauss. The city's cultural contributions in the first half of the 20th century included, among many, the Vienna Secession movement in art, psychoanalysis, the Second Viennese School (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern), the architecture of Adolf Loos and the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle. In 1913 Adolf Hitler, Leon Trotsky, Josip Broz Tito, Sigmund Freud and Joseph Stalin all lived within a few kilometres of each other in central Vienna, some of them becoming regulars at the same coffeehouses. Austrians came to regard Vienna as a center of socialist politics, sometimes referred to as "Red Vienna"(“Das rote Wien”). In the Austrian Civil War of 1934 Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss sent the Austrian Army to shell civilian housing such as the Karl Marx-Hof occupied by the socialist militia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

CSX 7220 leads what would turn out to be the days longest train ... PSR theory says this is best ,but this train was barely making track speed,even with a DPU buried in the consist .
Since railroads compete not against each other so much these days as trucks and highways ,I will agree to disagree with running longer slower trains of immense lengths .
Amtrak 48 had to jockey around this and two eastbounds ..my hat was off to the dispatcher .

BNSF 2048 leads the M-GALPEI into Peoria, IL now on TZPR trackage with the local from Galesburg 3-9-17
CN 5430 leads the CN L506 through White Bear Lake while the engineer blows the horn for the Eagle Street grade crossing. The crew is looking at a clear signal to pass through the Bald Eagle diamond as it heads east toward Withrow Jct. Once east of Withrow, the transfer will tie down the train for a road crew to take over.
A shot from the recent Dysart Sailing Club Regatta weekend. Here the yacht Calypso leads Caroline II, with Berwick Law (an extinct Carboniferous age volcano) on the skyline behind them. Local yachts tend to be small rather than sleek, modern racers but the owners are proud of them and is is nice to see a flotilla of them heading-off.

HL203 leads FL220 hauling 6L65, the 2014 Melbourne Cup Southern Aurora round the curve at Dysart. The train stabled in Benalla overnight, seen here some 70 minutes after departure with passengers scheduled to be dropped off at Broadmeadows for a day at the races, before being picked up later in the day for a return run to Sydney. 04/11/2014.
New Haven Railroad heavyweight round roof combo MUT trailer leads other powered MUT coaches eastbound along the electrified main line as enters the station platform area in Bridgeport, Connecticut, ca 1960. These Osgood-Bradley round roof MUTS built between 1926-1931 provided excellent service over the years. There were only two combo baggage coaches ordered. In this view you can really see the detail of the hair pin fence that separates the two express tracks from the station platform tracks. There are a couple people seen on the arriving train platform.

SC51803 leads a 2 car dmu formation awaiting departure from Keighley on 24th August 2014 with the 11.00 service to Oxenhope.
The mage leads his expedition down the cave system reluctantly sponsored by Queen Esmeralda...
- (Wizard): so you see Captain Fleur then I took a pipe and connected it in the rear section...
Hey Captain Fluer what are these dark black stones, the look like charcoal but is hard to the as stone?
- (Fleur): Sir, Couln´t it be petrified coal?
- (soldier): or Dragon poop?
- (Wizard): I will name this new discovery of mine: jettoblackus petriboulderous! scribe please make a note of this!
- (scribe): Shall I put that after Spidicus cavus troglodytus?
- (wizard): yes, you should note down every word that I say!
- (scribe): ok, but shall I not omit things like "Guard me, I will go behind this stalagmite and have a poop, please hand me a tissue when I am done!"
- (Wizard): no only the important stuff, that is my great discoveries as a wise scientist and mage, all my wise word, my poetry I entertain you simpletons with, even though it is "Peals up on swine"
- (scribe): shall I note down, this? I have written; our mage says He has made a poem about pearled swines!
- (wizard): wait what is that my ancient and delicate little nose smell, I can smell gold, look there lodged between that heap of jettoblackus petriboulderous!
- (soldier) Look, those eyes on the heap of blacketus peebouldius reflecting the torch light with its reptile eyes...
then it all happened very quickly, in the panic of perhaps meeting the Dragon once more, the mage tried to get behind his soldiers for protection, and dropped the torch on the pile of jettoblackus petriboulderous witch was very flammable....
Skipping forwards in the story: the results, Yes the Mage had found gold, but the very spot could not be relocated since the carves in this area was badly molten , most of the team survived but with horrible scarring injuries, the mage survived rather intact, but one more he was badly burned and his brain slightly more boiled...
Oh! and the Dragon was just a tiny cave-lizzard!

In the cold afternoon, Southern Shorthaul Railroad’s 4917 leads long end leading with C506 screaming through Picton with a short string of white, grey and green wagons to Temora as 2343.

NS 4059 leads NS train 210 up former GS&F around Kent, FL on their way north toward Valdosta, Macon and eventually Atlanta, GA.
Little did I know, this would be the last NS 210 that I saw. Recently 210 was abolished in favor of train 214, now running from Jacksonville, FL to Rutherford, PA instead of Atlanta to Rutherford. Although there really wasn't any light due to clouds, the hornshow, great crew and the rural scene made it quite the catch.
BNSF 8073 leads the H-GFDNTW (Grand Forks, ND - Northtown, MN) south through Alton, ND on a perfect spring day.
This was one of my favorite spots to shoot from during my residency in North Dakota simply because it was one of the very few elevated vantage points of the tracks in the eastern part of the state! As you can see in the background, it's pretty darn flat, no trees, no hills, nothing. If you could pan to the left, to the right, and back behind me, it would all look the same. This overpass gave a coveted change in perspective!
The other reason I liked this spot was because of the massive grain facility you see here. That's the Alton Grain Terminal, and it's got at least 8 giant concret tubes-worth of storage, 4.1 million bushels-worth to be exact! And if you've ever driven I-29 between Grand Forks and Fargo, you've surely seen this monster as it stands in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape.
Ironically enough, as massive as the Alton Grain Terminal is, if you just turn 90 degree to the left and drive for a little more than 12 miles, you would come across the tallest structure in the world at the time this photo was taken: the KVLY TV Tower. It has since dropped to the third tallest structure in the world, but it's still the tallest structure in the western hemisphere standing a whopping 2,063' in height. Yet most folks don't even know it's there! And just a mere 8 miles to its south stands the KXJB TV Mast checking in at 2,060', the second tallest structure in the western hemisphere! And here you thought North Dakota was boring!
But back to the shot: I was wanting to get a wide-angle overhead shot here for a long time, but shadows never played into my favor. In the past, the shadow from the overpass itself ruined the shot I was wanting. But on this day I had near-broadside light and in just the right amount. I think what helps this shot is that the shadows are short enough that they don't obscure the grain tracks on the right. Plus, shadows of a trio of SD40-2s is always awesome!
One last thought...hard to believe it was only 5 years ago that SD40-2s like this were still commonplace on High Priority manifests. In the seeming blink of an eye, all of that changed and now GEVOs are the power du jour...
BNSF 7334(ES44DC), CSX 799(ES44AH) and BNSF 8335(ES44C4) Leads a Manifest Southbound on the BNSF Fort Scott Sub near Dennis Avenue and Keeler Street in Olathe, Kansas.

67002 leads RHTT set and sister skip 67022 on the MML leaf buster circuit. The pair are working 3J92 south to West Hampstead and are photo'd here at Bush Bridge, Wellingborough, with Harrowden Junction in the distance, Wellingborough GBRf depot / Virtual Quarry behind.
The fourth line re-development is clear to see now. British Rail removed the fourth track between Kettering and Sharnbrook Junction in the 1980s for cost cutting reasons making platform 4 unused. The platform still does exist, overgrown and no link to the rest of the station. A building is left derelict on it and there are proposals for the platform to be reopened, which will link in with the electrification extensions from Bedford to Corby.
CN 8103 leads an eastbound 'U762' lite power train towards Moncton, New Brunswick. Through the night, they brought a 98 car crude oil train to Saint John, New Brunswick. Any time they've brought an oil train down, they tend to return lite power. Not a big deal, except they were six units. They ended up swapping power around at Saint John, as the leader, 2889 was facing the wrong way, and they didn't want to run long hood back, even with lite power.

If you are viewing this photo and recorded WR HST formations during this period please get in touch via Flickr Mail. I am willing to negotiate payment for direct observations that are accurately dated (day/month/year) that detail power car and trailer formations of HST sets in traffic. Additional information such as location, service working also welcome if available. Observations of vehicles/sets on depots or works are also of use, as are those of sets on trial runs.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any assistance offered/provided would be much appreciated.
This street leads to the port El Kantaoui. It's really nice for walking. Sousse, Tunisia.
Port El Kantaoui is a tourist complex 10 kilometres north of Sousse in central Tunisia. It was built in 1979 specifically as a tourist centre, around a large artificial harbor which provides mooring with 340 berths for luxury yachts, hosting sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding, and several golf courses.
The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to the harbour of Port El Kantaoui and to the north of the harbour.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulica prowadząca do portu El Kantaoui w Sousse. Bardzo miło było tam spacerować :)
Port El Kantaoui leży w odległości 10 km od Sousse. Jest to turystyczny kompleks, zbudowany w 1979r., polecany szczególnie dla osób, które pragną spędzić pobyt w Tunezji aktywnie. Ze względu na lokalizację ogromnego portu jachtowego, który jednocześnie może pomieścić 300 jachtów, jest to centrum wszelakich sportów wodnych. Dla osób, które nie mają odpowiednich umiejętności istnieje wiele szkół i i ośrodków szkolenia, które pozwolą na poprawę umiejętności żeglarskich.
