SGLR DeSoto Turn w/RLCX 8598 |
Description: |
Seminole Gulf is notoriously overgrown with vegetation north of Ft Myers. One of the few places you can rise above this, and get great light, is at the US 17 overpass. If you want to get a great shot of the DeSoto Turn, this is THE place. Note the "Trailing Service Only-Do Not Occupy" stencil markings on 8598, which is the only engine of the pair online & running. |
