37025 has landed back on Network Rail test trains after a brief run on engineering trains and I saw its run from Falkland Yard as an opportunity to test the 90D's low light capabilities.
'Inverness T.M.D' is pictured at Uddingston running around 30 minutes early on its return to Slateford yard - running as 3Q62. It's in charge of one of the UTU sets with DBSO 9703 trailing at the rear.
Full formation was;
LOCO 37025
96604
6260
62287
9808
DBSO 9703
On an overcast Saturday afternoon, CDOT GP40-2H 6696 leads a southbound test extra through Wallingford. Train crews were qualifying the line from New Haven to Springfield and back as the new CTrail service will be starting in May.
Testing and loving looks synonymous now, at least to me.

I just received by mail a preowned Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM (huh!) objective and wanted to take some test shots (in spite of the slippery street). Everything seems to be OK.
This is a crop (ca. 1/6 of the original frame).
Test prints from the ReclaimIt salvaged Polaroid 600 Blue Frog instant camera.
Gleaned Polaroid OneStep 600 Auto Focus, cleaned, tested and on sale now at ReclaimIt!
The camera came from the dump, loaded with a pack of old Polaroid film, the vintage stuff. I have since transferred that film into a cassette with working batteries. I hope to share the results of that experiment soon.

As seen through my new macro lens, this is the test (calcium carbonate structural shell) of a small sea urchin that was unknown to science until one was purchased on eBay in 2006 and subesqently described by Natural History Museum scientists Simon Coppard and Heinke Schultz. I bought this test on eBay right around that time, unaware of this fact.
::::::::::::::::
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and a mouth locatted ventrally. This species is from New Caledonia, and this particular test is about 1.6cm wide.
Ok here's what happened. I simply asked Kim to hold the light while I was making to focus. And well... this happened ;)
My son, Adam's, dog, Dahlia, a rat terrier, checking the water of the canal, here ,in Turners Falls. Adam said she's wimp... she won't go in if its too cold. She didn't go in. :-)
Trying out a Sigma 150-600 in the photographic shop... this was in the window over the way. Impressive lens, but boy is it heavy.
Test shot for exposure and framing of my previous post.
That bottle of Loreal shampoo turned into one hell of a gel.
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.
