Two semi rigs — one at each end — guide a 15-axle trailer bearing an electrical transformer through La Vernia Sept. 14. Photographer Pascalle Bippert caught up with the ungainly load at F.M. 1346 and U.S. 87; it proceeded onto Chihuahua Street off the highway before negotiating the sharp turn onto Seguin Road (F.M. 775). Traffic piled up behind the slow-moving load all along its route through the La Vernia area. PASCALLE BIPPERT
