A facebook friend of mine just shot it at Altamont IL today.
Not sure if you can see the photo or not: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150296995123111&set=a.495442418110.267456.726533110&type=1&theater
They don't, it's a railfan created rumor.
Why is it stored and why would UP want to donate a SD70ACe instead of something older that is near the end of its service life?
As you all probably already know, the UP #4141 "George H W Bush" SD70ACe has been stored for ages at Jenks in North Little Rock.

I heard a rumor at one point UP wanted to donate #4141 to the Bush Sr presidential museum. IMO, UP should have painted an older EMD or GE like an SD60 or C40-8, or even an SD40-2 into the #4141 instead. Of course my favorite choice for #4141 would have been an 265H-engined SD90MAC since they were still on UP's roster in 2005 and were being retired anyway.
