UP PRESIDENT BUSH 41??

  • Ok, can someone tell me what's with that new UP 'President Bush 41' locomotive? It showed all the sudden and I missed out on any info about it. Can somebody help me out? All I know is that Bush and his wife got in it---lol!!! Thanks,

  • The locomotive was painted in the special paint scheme to lead a passenger special to the Bush Library. I am really not sure why they decided to do it at this point in time.
  • It was in honor of the dedication of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library. There are some connections between Union Pacific and the Bush family.

    President Bush (Sr.) has an interest in the history of railroads and UP Chairman *** Davidson is a friend and supporter of the former president. Nothing wrong with that. Presidential libraries are built with funds from friends and supporters and very often businesses will be listed as contributors.

    My guess is that locomotive will always go through and not around a wash rack.
