Memorable Moment
Title:  Memorable Moment
Description:  Every picture has a story behind it, and this one is no exception. As usual, after class I went and checked the lights at Victoria St and thankfully it was green. So I decided to head over to Lexington Industrial Park to take advantage of the snow that was coming down. It wasn't long before I heard a low ominous bass off in the distance, shortly after I heard the distinctive sound of a horn. After a few minutes I then heard the low bass get much louder, a sure sign L517 was at Cardigan West climbing up grade. It got louder and more rich as the power got closer, it sounded like an older EMD, and was music to my ears. However, I still didn't know what the power was until I saw the gates at Lexington Ave drop and the lead unit exposed itself. Seconds later I got the shot you see above. It just goes to show that patience is well worth it!

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.
