This vehicle is a Verification Prototype for the 2014 L494 Range Rover Sport. These prototypes were the first vehicles that were representative of under body, upper body, powertrain and electrical architecture.
The camouflage on this vehicle was used to protect all aspects of the new vehicle’s design and included hard panels bolted to the body to change the lines of the vehicle physically, as well as the vinyl camouflage to distort the visual appearance. Interior camouflage was also used during the VP build phase and all test engineers had to follow strict guidelines on where vehicles were driven and parked during testing to prevent close-up high resolution photographs being leaked to the media in advance of the launch.
The VP phase of vehicles are used to sign off all engineering aspects of a new Land Rover product, ranging from extreme events tests to assess durability to stability control development tests undertaken on the frozen lakes of Sweden, and high lateral μ work on the Nürburgring and in the sands of Dubai. (Don’t know what μ is? Neither did we! It is the Split Coefficient of Friction, often referred to as Mu, which is all to do with what happens to a vehicle when the road friction differs significantly between the left and the right wheelpath, caused by changes in road surface or things such as black ice).

Since I'm home today, thought I'd check out the "backyard birds" showing up since Spring has sprung in Southern California (did we even HAVE a Winter?) I've seen a few of these sparrows in the past few days...I believe they are Lark Sparrows. Can someone verify this? Thanks!!

Scenes from a verification training exercise. The handheld Cerenkov Viewing Device (ICVD), such as those seen being used in this photograph, is an image-intensifier viewing device sensitive to the ultraviolet radiation which can be found in the water in which spent fuel is immersed. The viewing device can operate even with facility lights turned on, as the ICVD is optimized for ultraviolet radiation. Most of the visible spectrum is filtered away, while the device is equipped with an image intensifier tube primarily sensitive to ultraviolet frequencies. The aim of the comprehensive inspection exercise was to train IAEA Safeguard inspectors in real-life scenarios. The exercise took place at Slovakia's Mochovce NPP on 17-21 January 2005.

This place is the setting of a terrible story that happened to me back in March of 2014. I was on the H-GALNTW1-22A, having left out of Galesburg at approx 1230 hours and was sitting right here in Lynxville next to the hot dog stand that's open in the summer. My crew and I were 10 times out of La Crosse and just wanting to get home. I was nearing the end of a breakup I was having and struggling with people during that time so I went to sleep. Dozed off and told my conductor and student conductor to wake me up if the dispatcher needed a roll-up or something or if they heard people starting to move up in front of us.
I woke up around 0100 and the dispatcher was contacting us. "Aurora dispatcher to the CREX 1325 West, over!" I answered, "CREX 1325 West, over." He wanted a roll-up that was a common, very common occurrence when this stretch of double main was TWC. He simply wanted a train to pull up behind us and die. It was my friend K Hutchenreuter and his engineer actually. So I told my conductor to give a roll-up. I went back to relaxing and checking out Facebook and such. I heard him start to give back part of the warrant, unaware that he was given up track right underneath of us and 10 miles ahead of us. He was rolling up MP 260 and our rear end was just clear of MP 250. There was a vehicle train in Ferryville soon to be recrewed and they were in the MP 260 area. We were 7,000 feet in length and was just over the MP 251 spot so MP 250 would have been perfect!
I went to listen to the repeat from the dispatcher, I heard him say, "CREX 1325 West is releasing track warrant ?-?-?-?-? from CTC 1462 1-4-6-2 to milepost M-P 250 2-5-0 at 0030 0-0-3-0, is that correct over?" I said, "Engineer Osborne verifies that is all correct, over." "Aurora Sub dispatcher, out." Not to my knowledge had we rolled up wrong until my conductor handed me back my copy of the warrant that he wrote down the milepost on. I saw "MP 260" wrote down on the bottom of the warrant where "MP 250" should have been!
I told him that I'd just call the dispatcher up on my phone and tell him we screwed up and didn't realize it until afterwards and then, we'd be all in the clear. My conductor thought otherwise and said no. That we were already in trouble and I will never know what possessed me to not go ahead with my plan to tell the dispatcher, but it will forever haunt me into the future. We sat there knowing that we were in the wrong, but I didn't want to say anything because of stories told to me about these situations and people getting really protective of the situation and holding people to their will.
Well, to not make this story too long, I'll get to the point now. We traveled, without authority and dead on FRA hours, as far as we could to get close to Inside of the warrant until we passed a red intermediate signal and saw the FRED of the rear of the vehicle train ahead of us and we heard our relief crew getting close so we pulled up to a cabin crossing and recrewed. Nothing about what happened was exchanged to the relief crew. We traveled back to La Crosse and tied up. A week or two went by and I went on vacation and came back, traveled down to Savanna and back on a trip and when I came in to tie up from it, our terminal manager spotted me and pulled me into the trainmaster office. We had been caught. Statements were written up from the both of us, once my conductor got in from his trip that day. Our investigation was May 22nd and we were dismissed from the BNSF Railway on June 6th, 2014. I was devastated. I had worked so hard to get on that railroad and now it was all over with. Two and half years down the drain.
After living on unemployment, working from the Illinois Railway from a little stint, working for the Iowa Interstate Railroad, and more unemployment, I am now a locomotive engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Proud to be on a Class 1 railroad, but missing the BNSF Railway dearly every day!
I decided to see the all the new CTC down the Mississippi one day in the summer and came upon this spot. Really wanted to cry, but took pictures and moved on. Sucks that now there is an absolute signal right where we were would have been sitting. If that would have been there then, we would have never moved and never been caught since you don't have warrants in CTC.

Although the sky was threatening as day broke this morning, the water was calm and the birds were, for the most part, more tolerant than usual. Then the rain came down steadily for about 20 minutes and I got to test the weatherproofing claims for my camera and lens. This is the most soaked I have gotten in all the times I have paddled on the bayou, but eventually the sun broke through and dragged a half rainbow into view. Good light and good shooting for another half hour, then the thunder boomers started and it was time to pack it in. Little blue heron on Armand Bayou.
