Union Pacific No. 4141 is an SD70ACe type diesel locomotive built by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) in September 2005 for the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), originally as their No. 8423. A month later, in October 2005, it was renumbered to 4141, repainted in a special blue, gray, and white livery, and named George Bush 41. This name was chosen to honor former President George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States.
Following former President George H.W. Bush's death on November 30, 2018, it was given the honor of pulling his funeral train to the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, TX. It made its last revenue run on November 9, 2019 and was officially retired from service with the UP shortly after.
After its retirement, it was immediately donated to the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum for static display. As of today, it is being prepped for static display at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
