17.1.2017. In dull drizzly weather, Virgin liveried Hitachi IEP 'Azuma' No 800101 passes Botany Bay with the 14.35 Peterborough - Doncaster Carr IEP Depot test run.
The train was running under electric power.
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.
With the new IETs due to enter service in the region in a couple of months time there have been increased test workings of GWR's IETs in Devon & Cornwall. Pictured here is 800029 entering Totnes Station with the (5Z92) 15.24 Exeter St Davids-Penzance test run.

忍 受 試 探 的 人 是 有 福 的 ． 因 為 他 經 過 試 驗 以 後 、 必 得 生 命 的 冠 冕 、 這 是 主 應 許 給 那 些 愛 他 之 人 的 。｜聖經 雅各[1:12]
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.｜ James [1:12]
After checking the weather for days, on Thursday morning June, 29 I decided to head east as weather forecasts were showing it was the only direction with a chance of good weather.
Riding with me that day was my mother who was visiting for the week and my wife. It was out the door at 5 AM, and eastbound we headed. All week long the smoke from the Canadian wildfires had been chocking out any sun there had been. By Painsville, OH, we were in full sun. We eventually made it to Erie, PA.
With a heads up from a friend, I was informed that even though workers were striking at the Wabtec management would be out testing locomotives and off to the Erie East Commercial test track we headed.
Not long after arriving at the only grade crossing on the test track 4 units made a slow pass eastbound. Knowing it would not be long before they came back west and I set up for this shot.
Heading back west under a heavy load, at slow speed CSXT 7276 a newly rebuilt CW44AC, now a CM44AC leads GECX 2015 & 2014 both ET44AC's, and NS 7635 a ES40DC, back towards the plant.
The three of us hung around for 3 more passes while they kept testing the CSX and NS units as I changed photo angles.

This is actually a quick test for my two new lomo 3.7 lmicroscope enses. Real intention was to compare them for defects. Turned out both are about the same condition. This is one of them
The speed on the remaining operating portion of the Sydney Sub is nothing remarkable, and I was able to leapfrog ahead of CN 1501 with relative ease. Since I had missed my scenic take at Tracadie, I wanted another opportunity to include a portion of the Atlantic with the ex-RDC. The classic view of the test geometry car approaching the Tupper industrial spurs proved to be just perfect. Although the track car is not lit perfectly, the composition makes this photo in my opinion. The crew of CN 1501 will test both spurs before calling it a day after the long trek deadheading from Truro.
One from last year which never got to see the light of day on here.
A very very lucky catch indeed. Greater Anglia 90008 in its part-refurbished stage pauses in Platform 10 at Crewe Railway Station. This was working TEST, an internal move to and from Crewe Electric Depot. Presume to test electrical equipment.
The handsome Usher Hall: like concert venues up and down the land and across the globe, it has been shut for almost a full year now. Walking past during the recent snows, I noticed it was open again - as a Covid testing centre. The nearby international conference centre is meanwhile being used as a vaccination centre.It makes sense, these places have been empty, they are designed to handle a large volume of people, have lots of space etc. Like everyone though I do wonder when we will get to use them again as actual venues....
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.
What better subject for testing a roll of CatLabs80 than our Frank?!
This test roll was shot with the Minolta Autocord. Film exposed at 50 ASA and processed for 10.5 minutes in Xtol 1:1

Photographing a Test Train on HS1 in any kind of light is a hard thing to do. Eurotunnel have the contract to haul them with their Krupps Locomotives and they always go out at night after the last Eurostar and are back home before daylight. This one was booked back at D Moor at 0447 but I watched it on RTT during the night and it was running 30 minutes late which meant its seen here about 0510 in the morning with just enough light amongst the mist to record 0004 & 0003 on the 2312 D Moor to D Moor test train with it running up to Stratford International twice up HS1.Seen here dropping down the Freight Chord to D Moor at the end of its long night.
