Notable Trials
In 2008 and 2009 manufacturer Alstom tested its new Automotrice à grande vitesse at Velim, and at the same time the V250 built by AnsaldoBreda was being tested. The IC4 by AnsaldoBreda was often been tested at Velim partly due to the bureaucratic procedure to approve a new system version for test on a normal Danish railway.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or trials:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angel’s face. Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
