Unpatched SP 8580 In Central Texas
I went out yesterday afternoon trying to catch the UP 1982 as it was scheduled to be on the MSAFW coming through Round Rock. An even bigger surprise was waiting when I pulled into Taylor. The Smithville local was departing with unpatched SP 8580 leading. I followed him down HWY 95 to Elgin, shooting videos right south of Coupland and coming into Elgin. This was the catch of the year, as I wasnt sure id ever see a true SP motor ever leading again, even if it was on a local. Hopefully he'll stick around the area for a while and we can get some better shots and videos.

Welcome!
Hello everyone, this website will provide information and headlines including pictures, videos and headlines of news along the rails around central Texas. The main areas I railfan are the Union Pacific Austin Sub from Austin-Taylor-Hearne. I occasionally make it up to Temple and down south along the Smithville Sub. Another big area I railfan is the UP Corsicana, and Ennis Subs and the BNSF DFW Sub from Corsicana - Teague. Thanks for checking out my site.
