As a huge railfan, this is a very special day. A beautiful locomotive and a great tribute to an amazing person. Thank you Union Pacific for making this all possible.
why is it retired
It not custom made, it's custom PAINTED...
Custom numbered as well! This level of craftsmanship brings a locomotive the level of fine art on rails.
@@josephastier7421 It's a spray job not a frigging Picasso...

Nice paint job though, totally standard Diesel electric locomotive.
@@moeshickenyay To be honest I can think of better paint jobs... just go look on pinterest, vimeo etc to see some awesome paintjobs on diesel (or electric) locos.
George H.W. Bush: * dies *
UP 4141: my time has come
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.
The locomotive was painted to commemorate the dedication of the Bush 41 presidential library.
Anyone could have figured that this would still be in the fleet when he died though.
@@MilwaukeeF40C He said it's been parked since they painted it, how is it obvious that they are going to start using it now.
So... What's your point Paul? Still a beautiful train whatever it was done or for whatever reason.
@Mike DeMarco they also say on a website that it delivered freight to 23 states
The colors for this loco and the various Air Force executive aircraft of today were selected by Jackie Kennedy and famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy back in the 1960s.
Raymond Loewy did a LOT of iconic industrial designs for railroads and some tractors too.

That has to be the most well-kept locomotive I've ever seen!
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. We have lost not just a former president, but a veteran of war and an American hero. Democrat or Republican, this is a true and respectable hero of our country.
@blnstr It's still possible to do all that. Just after pressing the record button, bow your head. You can still move your eyes. If anything, I'd say at least bow your head for part of it, like once the locomotive passes.
That's what I'm doing tomorrow
He was the last president who was a member of our Greatest Generation to die. God bless him.
@@SmithConductor does anyone know the route of the train
@@massrailfan8117 Tomorrow it is departing Westfield Auto Facility in Houston at 1 PM Central Time and is scheduled to arrive in College Station 2 and a half hours later. I'm going in between it's trip to catch it
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting this. I wondered where the train came from all of a sudden before the funeral.
Excellent piece!
Curtis Tisbagger, glad to see you’v came to terms with yourself

It’s neither a custom-made “train” nor a custom-made locomotive. It is a custom painted stock EMD SD70 ACe.

They don’t care much, they don’t know much, and can’t be trusted to get stuff right much.
Does it really matter?

@Kilo Byte No dimwit I meant for his entire still living and or dead family and also wouldn't you want to have what say your father if he passed away respected? I certainly know I would or your wife if you have one or your daughter etc. I am not going to respond to you but think about what i asked
@Kilo Byte regardless of who it is. All should respect the dead, there is no point in bitching about what they did or might have done it might not have done, they are gone, let it go. Unless extenuating circumstances are present.

Kandi Klover could someone make an ez track like system but for 1:1 ratio
If you could make that track loop around and go over the roof, then back in front like a giant tank tread you could take it out on the street.
Flip it over and it says Atlas Snap Track, code 100
1:26 it sounds like an sd40-2 though but its a sd70ace
I know right!
I think it is a sound put over the vid but idk
Yeah

Would be nice to see 4141 put in a building next to Bush president library.
@Hiccum Blurpaedius douchbag
@volcano hi then the homeless don't deserve their shelters either ? It was donated by Union pacific pretty much the same way we donate to homeless shelters
@volcano hi there's also a legitimate need for history/preservation otherwise we will only repeat our mistakes that includes darker parts of our history too like the civil war which a lot of people seem to wish to wipe away not to mention if I remember correctly with the trains if you arnt careful you can get injured really badly
@volcano hi I like how you thought I was equating this to the civil war... I was saying if we don't remember our history and The lessons learned from it we are doomed to repeat it also FYI I am fine with him being voted out but what the Democratic party is doing now! I am not alright with it also the company that owned and painted it is free to donate any locomotive they wished and it was for the dedication of the George Bush library that they painted the locomotive and named/numbered it [I'm quite frankly surprised that the company that ran the funeral train for Lincoln did not donate it but then again they probably believed that he would still be remembered which he has [he says slightly starting to ramble] also question whom/what donated the locomotive in your opinion cause it was Union Pacific who purchased it painted it and donated it in my opinion and I am certainly not fine with people disrespecting him when he can't defend himself
@volcano hi the locomotive is privately owned property of Union Pacific Railroad, if they want to donate it, use it for railroad service, store it, or burn it to the ground, that is their business.
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.

Tribute to a great man. Rest in peace President H. W. Bush.
4141 in 2008 i seen it on the point of a double stack, it was used a bit in the beginning
This motor was in regular revenue service until not too terribly long ago. It was very common to see it on the Parsons, Cherokee & Choctaw subs on Houston bound manifests.
Would love to see video of the train hauling MR.BUSH to his final resting place. Please post on CZcams
You should be able to watch it on TV I believe it's Dec 6

Sorry it’s Virtual Railfan
I have caught all the former president event on youtube.com and most live events from ABC 13 Houston. Surely the train ride will be included as well.
i'm about to watch it on fox
Custom painted, not made. And why was it in storage? You're not telling me it was made just to be used for when he passed away.....
No it wasn't, 4141 was put in storage in 2012 after his health started to go downhill.
4141 was used heavily in it's early years of service but due to surplus power and to preserve the condition of the engine, it was stored. 4141 is among several SD70ACe class diesels which was a milestone diesel at the time.
@@BalticFilms144 That isn't what they said in the video...
@@SaltiDawg2008 News media doesn't know much about trains anyway. You can look up UP 4141 and find videos and photographs of it in daily usage on freight trains as early as 2005 and as late as 2011 or so.
It's a great way to get rid of a train they no longer need and avoid disposal fees.
Wow that’s so cool Air force one on On the rails that was cool

Agree with Mr. Robinson. He was way better then we have had the last decade. UP got the paint wrong. Pres. was in the Navy.
Rest in Peace Mr. President. Fair winds and following seas shipmate.
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.
A great man I am proud to have served under him and his son. God bless you mr. President rest in peace, you are now reunited with your beloved wife and daughter. We lost a great one and you will be missed. 🙏

People dont have to like President Bush, however they should show some respect for Him. And for his family at this time of sorrow. What has this world came to when people cant have feelings for a family that has lost a loved one ? It's sad, no matter how you may feel about the politics of it all.
