Arrival of President George H.W. Bush’s Beloved Train in Texas Marks Beginning of Museum Expansion
TX – The historic Union Pacific No. 4141 Engine, a locomotive painted to match Air Force One, has arrived at its permanent home in front of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
The iconic locomotive’s journey, which ended Monday, started approximately 16 years ago when a museum director asked a railroad executive to borrow an old caboose.
Now, Union Pacific No. 4141 Engine sits near the museum’s front door where it will remain as the George & Barbara Bush Foundation embarks on a multi-year, multi-million dollar expansion.
