Southern Pacific Patch Leading in the Willamette Valley in 2018. Drone Chase. 5/27/2018

A very rare sight in the year 2018 and even more to top it off right at the beginning of the video with a double dose.
A Southern Pacific Patch unit UP6406 leads a manifest through the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The time period is easily given away with the guest appearance of a BNSF Tier 4 Gevo.
All footage taken with a DJI Phantom 4.

I was the engineer on this train. It was one of the last UP trains I ran before hiring out with Amtrak. :)

Miss these old things.. When I was a kid all I saw were patch units. Really sad to see them fade away
