High speed testing on new Cascades bypass this weekend

Local TV news just had a story stating that testing will occur this weekend on the new passenger trains Pt. Defiance bypass track from Tacoma south to Nisqually (WA state). Speeds will be up to 79 mph and of course locals are being warned to "Not stop on tracks," yada yada yada. This line bypasses the scenic, but slower and often freight-clogged route along Puget Sound, and has been controversial with some of the politicians and residents who worry that trains will actually be operating at more than 10 mph through their towns.

I couldn't find any further info on times of testing...not sure what others on this forum might have read or heard.
