We present initial experimental results showing the excitation of plasma wakefields by a train of two drive bunches. These wakefields are experienced by a trailing witness bunch that gains energy while retaining a finite energy spread. These well controlled plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) experiments are important to test the theory of the PWFA and serve as a testbed for techniques that will be used in high energy experiments.
