Railpictures.ca - John Pittman Photo: A CN TEST Track Evaluation System train was proceeding west on the Oakville Sub, beyond Aldershot Yard at 9:11 EDT on “9/11″. It was heading to Hamilton and the Grimsby Sub. Odd that the mp33 detector reported 19 axles. The lead engine, ES44dc CN 2274 had a rectangular box on its front hood (resembling an outdoor security camera) and a dashcam-like device inside the left cab window. The modified boxcar is CN 414852 “DGRMS Test Car”. The TEST Track Evaluation System coach is CN 1057. Both have CN Engineering emblems. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

CN 1057 TEST has had a good long life at CN. Built new by NSC in 1959 as CN 21, Class PV-79-D, 79′ 0″ Business Car. It was later renumbered CN 99, then CN 96 Louis Jolliet, then CN 1057 Louis Jolliet, before being converted to its current Track Evaluation System configuration.
