Blasting by Bethel
Title:  Blasting by Bethel
Description:  Before school started, I wondered over to Victoria to happily find a green light, and seconds later, I saw a set of head lights. So I hustled over to this classic Soo Bridge to set up and get a shot of L517 flying over it. This scene will be different in the coming weeks. The city plans to put a trail in right under the lead axle on the 1027.
