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.
