Bush 4141: Custom-made train to carry George HW Bush to his final resting place

[@mackpines]

George H.W. Bush: * dies * UP 4141: my time has come

[@ovationpdh]

It was painted this way back in 2005. I doubt very seriously it was done this way in anticipation of pulling a funeral train. It debuted at the same time UP released a series of "heritage" SD70ACe locomotives. Each was painted in a special paint scheme to represent railroads that have merged into the Union Pacific over the years. The 4141 did see freight service initially, but most of its life has been spent in covered storage.

[@silicon212]

The locomotive was painted to commemorate the dedication of the Bush 41 presidential library.

For all and any railfans who go out to see this in addition to the general public, I would like to encourage you to remove your hats (if you're wearing one) and bow your head in a respectful manner as the train goes by.

Wow, can this possibly drag on for any longer? I'm an American and I will tell you a lot of us don't share the same feeling about the Bushs and Clintons. I sure hope this wasn't paid for by tax dollars!

@@AbelG8781 If the government has anything to do with it, its most likely at the expense of taxpayers. Thats the way it usually goes especially since it was customized for a president.

With the utmost respect to President GHW Bush and his family, these funeral expenses must have been astronomical

[@TheGreaseySpoon]

I see no train, customised or otherwise. What I do see is a standard diesel electric locomotive with a custom paint job. It was not produced to carry him to his final resting place but was seen as a fitting mark of remembrance on his final journey. Not knocking the workmanship that has been done but if you are going to post shit on YT at least get the title right.

The engine is owned, and has always been owned by Union Pacific Railroad. It was, and is, a standard engine and was used by the railroad. In 2005 Union Pacific painted it in the scheme you see in the video. They painted it to be displayed at the Bush Presidential Library along with a display about the historic contribution of railroads to the United States. After being on display at the library, the engine was put back into service on the railroad, and the Bush paint scheme was kept. The 2008 economic crises caused the Union Pacific to pull some engines out of service, and 4141 was one of them. If I understand correctly, it had been put back in service a while ago, still with the special paint scheme. And then a few days ago it was used to carry former president Bush to his final resting place.

So what’s gonna happen to the loco once the job is done? Will it be put back into storage and rott away like an old car? What a waste of good machinery

[@kansascitysouthernfan6966]

David Fowler Jr rumored that the locomotive will be permanently on display at the Presidential Library in Texas.
