A complete ride-through of the Test Track attraction in EPCOT at Walt Disney World. Shot in HD in 2009. From Disney.com: Test Track Attraction at Epcot theme park is a high-speed vehicle-simulation ride in which big kids, teens and adults test their mettle in one of Disney’s longest and fastest rides. Step into the world of automotive testing as your 6-seat vehicle undergoes the safety and quality tests that General Motors performs on every prototype it manufactures. As you begin this 5-minute, nearly one-mile auto escapade, strap yourself in, ascend steep terrain that’s 3 stories high, then let loose downhill, blasting across a bumpy road and roaring through 50-degree banked curves and hair-pin turns that test suspension and brakes at speeds up to 60 miles per hour! Zoom into the environmental chamber to endure the extreme heat and cold tests—at temperatures that are 100 degrees apart! Then, see if your vehicle will withstand corrosion when robots mist water upon it. Finally, face the challenge of avoiding a crash barrier in the nick of time!

During World War 2 the United States Office of Strategic Services & National Defence Research Committee performed a number of tests to determine the most effective way to disrupt ememy railroad services. The “Mole” was an explosive device designed to automatically detonate when light levels dropped, such as when a train entered a tunnel. This film shows how the Mole was made, as well as various tests to determine the most effective location to place the Mole. Needless to say there’s quite a few trains being blown up, derailed, or otherwise wrecked in this movie! The “Poath Junction” collection contains a vast array of contemporary Australian train movies, model railways, and historic documentaries relating to transport from around the world. www.youtube.com The “Poath Junction” train movies collection, featuring Australian prototype railways. www.youtube.com Newsreels, publicity films and other historic transport related films. www.youtube.com Model trains & miniature railways
