After testing at the National Research Council Canada facilities in Ottawa for over two months, part of VIA Rail's new Siemens Charger set is heading back towards the Montreal Maintenance Centre. It is blasting through Dorval with a Siemens Charger locomotive bringing up the rear and is running as VIA 628.
After trading places a few days before with BMEX 259, RPRX 2010 finally hits the main line performing some tests that will possibly lead to the Union Railroad buy some gensets. Here 2010 leads a train of 10 slabs past the class yard bound for Irvin, the 259 struggled up the grades in the Mon Valley with only 7 slabs, the 2010 on the other hand handled the train with no problem.
GECX 2021, a Tier 4 Evolution Technology ET44AC, leads BNSF ES44C4 and GECX ES44AC 2012 on General Electric's test track.

This is not a finished product but merely a weight test for the legs of a current WIP mech. While waiting for parts I was tearing down this old beast

and because the top part is made of mostly plates I thought it would be a good weight test for the new legs. The result was this strange looking thing.
Passed the weight test no problem, which is surprising because the six legs it had before were prone to buckling out under the weight.
Also, I edited the photo a bit to try to make the black blend better with dark bluish gray. It took away some detail but this is just a WIP thing anyway.
The newest addition to the ground of the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona, is this Boeing 747-100. It was the oldest flying 747 up until its retirement. Flown by General Electric as a flying propulsion test bed.
CN TEST RDC 1501 returns northbound towards Guelph crossing Highway 24 after testing south on the Fergus spur to Preston. This day found O999 running from Stratford to Kitchener, testing the Huron Park spur, and continuing to Guelph for this Preston trip. The train would later tie down at Guelph.
I recently worked up the nerve to disassemble my Kodak Vigilant Six-20. It's shutter was gummed up and every shutter speed acted like about 1/25 or so. I pulled the lens off, removed the elements, then gave the shutter a Ronsonol bath. Works like a charm, now! However, this roll was my second test roll. I didn't pay attention to how the front element came off and shot the first test roll with it a full rotation out of focus. After putting it on in a different way and collimating it, this test roll came out much better!
Also, if you're ever wanting more info on old folders check out the excellent website of Mike Eckman. This article of Mike's was the inspiration for me deciding to tackle fixing my Vigilant.
This is Leroy's Cafe in Sulphur Springs, Arkansas. I've never been a patron of the place, but after scouting the area on Google maps, I wanted to go test the Vigilant out there.

After having tested the Three Hills Sub the previous day, CN's Track Evaluation train deadheads back north to Mirror. CN has assigned a veteran GP38-2W, still wearing a faded Zebra stripes, as the test train's power.
Electro-Motive Division, along with Union Pacific, did some high-altitude testing of EMD’s SD90MAC-Hs at aptly-named Plainview, Colorado, in February 1998. Here, UP Nos. 8503, 8502 and 8505, along with specially-painted EMD No. 8504, splice the EMD test car at Plain siding on Union Pacific’s Moffat Tunnel Subdivision.
This is just a test shot to check if my camera is working and if I've inserted film right. I think they retouched my photos in the photo lab which well, sucks.
First public share of a test shot from my new old FujiFilm X-E1 and Meike 35mm f/1.7
It was pretty dark hence the shot is not perfectly sharp, I am discovering 'no ibis' time again. The picture is not touched by editing software, SOOC.
I think I must spend some time to get used to manual focusing and shutter speeds similar to what I had when shooting film.
I really like the bokeh of that Meike. It's pleasant, not disturbing.
just testing my new camera.

I ran across this photo in my archive. It's really a throw-away image; it was a lens test of Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED on a Canon 5D. I bought the lens to use for astrophotography, but I took it out one day after work to see how the lens worked in general. I think I shot this to explore the lens's foreground blur. The quality of the light struck me, though.
