I would of thought that the Union Pacific would run this locomotive after the funeral of Geroge H W Bush, but how it was painted and stuff and also this engine pulled his funeral train, so I guess why the Union pacific retired it after the funeral, but this engine would of added some color on their trains and stuff, but what if it was in a derailment or a crash? Yeah, so I guess that was the main reason, so at least this locomotive makes a nice display and I hope to see this display in person some day. Thanks for this footage and hope to one day see the Big Boy and the 844 on the UP and some of their other trains.
4141 was briefly put in revenue service, a few months after the funeral. It ran with Big Boy from College Station to Palestine, after which it was put on a manifest back to Houston.
@@michaelthomas0655 Interesting. I bet the 4141 looked great running with the Big Boy steamer! Also the 4141 would of looked great running with the Office Car Special as well.
It was only ever used for one specific purpose , George Bush senior wanted his remains to be transported by rail since he loved trains so he had a special locomotive made for the job of transporting his dead body and after the trip was completed the locomotive would be permanently shutdown and never ran again.
Yes the locomotive that transported George H W Bush to to his burial locomotive , the locomotive was only ever used once and that was to transport his body to where he was going to be buried , beforehand it sat for many years waiting for the day of his death.
You know I been to college station my first time but all of sudden during Covid the locomotive was covered with the large sheets but when I was looking at the UP 4014 big boy the railroad employees told me that they are open I didn’t know if they are open but I would like to see it locomotive and that chopper
What's the bet 4141 is an empty shell like so many other "preserved" diesels. Prime mover and generator gone, motors gone, all auxiliary equipment gone. Yep those are just idler axels all right, took another look. Clear as day the motors are gone. This is just UP lip service to preservation. They took all the valuable stuff and no doubt are using it still, and gave the empty husk away for display.
@@miIwaukeeroad You have to wonder about the PR logic that drives this sort of thing. If UP seriously think this is buying them loyalty among train buffs or the wider industry you have to wonder what they are smoking.
@@dogmannzwhat are you talking about? 4141 was donated to the Bush Library before the funeral, hence the reason it was stored at Little Rock for several years.
So, what's the story on why UP donated this engine? I know it didn't see much road duty and the brass presidential plaques that were on the side of the cab were stolen a time or two. I had an inkling that it was a target for vandalism and that's why it didn't get out much. Fill me in on what I missed please!
Cause George Bush Was good friends With one of the Top executives In Union Pacific At the time so UP Made a Unit Dedicated to bush in 2005 And it ran In Freight service for about a year And it was never seen again And in 2018 Former president George H W Bush Passed away and this locomotive was leading his funeral train And after that UP Donated it to The Bush Library And yea that’s all I know abt this unit
The Bush Family asked Union Pacific if they could have this locomotive to remember George Bush Sr.Union Pacific officials did not reply. They just kept quiet. So in other words they said no
I also have an HO model of it , it's my most favorite locomotive i have...i don't have a layout built but i really wish i would have one because id have it sitting idle on a siding.
Not really because it's Nothing but a shell now , it's engine was removed there's no value in the thing now due to it not being a functional locomotive.

I didn’t expect to see an SD70ACE preserved. But at the same time, it’s absolutely awesome! We would want more SD70ACEs preserved.
@@RonnieThePRRLoco3750 when they come of age
Quite a waste, they barely used that one.
@@MilwaukeeF40C I believe most of the major components were removed and it is essentially a shell.

Donate more then.
You gotta love the sound of an ACE going in the distance with it's horn
Absolutely
It’s good to see 4141 properly preserved, inside protected from the elements.
Makes me happy to see that 4141 has a safe place to be displayed and honored. Also very happy to see that SD40-2 still in BN colors!
Sad but happy to see this locomotive is preserved!
Awesome share

Beautiful Locomotive for sure.

@@apmazurka yes definitely
.....don't even
From what I’ve heard, 4141 will more likely never run again.
If it’s inside this building it’s more than likely never running again. Plus it was also supposedly gutted inside.
Yeah I believe they removed the prime mover before donating it.

Too bad that you cant climb inside
That chopper is dwarfed in size compared to the locomotive
What about the fancy cars that went with it at the funeral?
@@rnvrnv354 not there
They're still be used on UP's executive and excursion trains.
this is the presidents train

It's only been open to the public for a couple months now.
Heres A Question Has It ever Pulled a Freight Train?
@@TexasSoCalRailfan9021 yes it has
@@miIwaukeeroad is there any video i would like to have the link
It's pulled many freight trains as 4141.
TOTALLY COOL!!! RIP Mr. Bush
How did 4141 get in there
The unit was placed on a track cut and the museum was built around the unit, pretty cool way of doing it.
Quick question man Does this Cost Any Money To get inside and see the UP 4141 and the helicopter or Is it free?
@@Ruvssians It is free, to go into the actual museum costs money, but the transportation section is free.
@@miIwaukeeroad oh Bet Thx man! I’ll make sure to see this when I visit college station
Pain in the ass???
I bet they removed the prime mover

@@dogmannz George Bush and the chairman of UP were good friends. He ordered that locomotive painted in the colors in honor of his friend.
It's not really preservation, just eye candy for his shrine lobby.
@@dogmannzwhat are you talking about? 4141 was donated to the Bush Library before the funeral, hence the reason it was stored at Little Rock for several years.
I don't think any other Class I railroad would come up or do something like this, I mean this is a perfect tribute to President George H. W. Bush. I
So, what's the story on why UP donated this engine? I know it didn't see much road duty and the brass presidential plaques that were on the side of the cab were stolen a time or two.

@@Ruvssians were did you make up that story from?
It ran in revenue service for several years before being put into inactive storage at N. Little Rock, AR.
@@michaelthomas0655 recheck your info there....not in Arkansas
The Bush Family asked Union Pacific if they could have this locomotive to remember George Bush Sr.Union Pacific officials did not reply. They just kept quiet. So in other words they said no
Uh no. This museum is owned between Texas A&M University and the Bush family, idk where your thing came from.
I Have 4141 in HO scale
I have an N scale and HO scale 4141
I also have an HO model of it , it's my most favorite locomotive i have...i don't have a layout built but i really wish i would have one because id have it sitting idle on a siding.
So UP 4141 will never run again
No
Nope it's permanently shutdown.
That thing cost in money sitting in there
Not really because it's Nothing but a shell now , it's engine was removed there's no value in the thing now due to it not being a functional locomotive.
