- The train carrying George H.W. Bush's body from Houston to his final resting place in College Station, Texas, departed on December 6, 2018. The train is called 'Locomotive 4141.'
The lead engine was dedicated to Bush in 2005. He actually drove it the next day. Hats off to Union Pacific for this magnificent send off! R.I.P. W!
@William Anthony Leasure one unnessecary comment after the other
This was H.W., Not W.
@William Anthony W didn’t die dumbass.
@William Anthony Leasure Excuse us but in the UK locomotive engineers are called "drivers". Same job, different terminology.
@William Anthony Leasure "You guys". Sorry, but I am not in the UK. I am an American citizen living in the United States. I really don't think the amount of rolling stock matters as to what the engineer is called. Those people that operate subway trains in the U.S. are also called "drivers". Submarine skippers are called "drivers" also.
Rail Force One is a stunning, solemn, timeless tribute to a President who loved the rails so much. Rest in peace Mr. President.
As a Brit and a rail fan , I found this an incredibly moving tribute
Same, nice to see America using its trains in such a great way
Must have been nerve wracking for the engineer with all those people near the tracks.
Probably was more worried about one of them with a bomb to cause a terror attack events like this are a huge target for terroists
I think that is why the engineer was blasting the horn so much: to warn people to stay far enough away from the tracks.
Everything is polished to the 9s. Hats off to Union Pacific for a great tribute. Excellent job and what an honor to carry a past president to his final resting place -
Yes ,it is very uncommon these days to find beautiful looking American locomotives,.......after 1980s
Got to see this beautiful train in Omaha today. Won't forget this moment
Rail Force One
@William Anthony Leasure wtf does that have anything to do with what he just said?
Very good comment-thank you.
William Anthony Leasure wtf is coming out of your 8 year old mouth
William Anthony Leasure there were barely any standards then, and the wood ties and rails were replaced. And the slaves didn’t make signals or Ptc did they? No, that’s why the remaining rails are not from the 1800’s.
William Anthony Leasure what does that even mean !?😲!?
Sharpest looking train I've ever seen.
Seeing all the people on side of the tracks waving flags and paying their respects makes me proud to be an American
Wasteland Man fuck off
To the worker at 2:21. Much respect for taking your bump cap off.
The SD70ACe locomotive measures 15 feet 11 inches tall and
weighs 420,000 pounds with a full tank of diesel fuel. Its fuel
tank holds 4,900 gallons of diesel. The UP No. 4141 is equipped
with a 4,300 horsepower engine and can travel up to 70 miles per hour
That’s 4,300 horsepower of pure American muscle, the fuel is 100% bald eagle pee. It’s a sharp looking unit and it’s a great tribute to a great American
The lead engine is a EMD SD70ACe as is the trailing unit, and horn is a K5LLA
both k5lla's
what in all the nephsons is a K5HHL??? that horn on 4141 is just an early K5LLA
K5lla
The passenger cars are the ones that fallow the Big Boy from Denver to Cheyenne. The cars usually sit at Union Station in Denver
@@davidsheehy5310 I saw a similar train here in NY a couple months ago led by UP 1943 it was the UP OCS train ua-cam.com/video/mXCLghtOkl8/v-deo.html
Union Pacific sent off President Bush in style. R.i.p President Bush.
This train belongs in a museum
The UP4141 will soon be, at the Bush 41 Library
That's Rail Force One right there
Exactly. Air Force One is to the skies, as Rail Force One is to the railroad tracks.
The first time I voted Turning 18 I voted for President Bush . Rest in Heaven sir ..
UP 9096 is the most shiniest SD70AH I ever seen
It's not that old. It was built in Oct. 2017, after T4 went into effect, I would assume it's one of the so-called 'T4 credit units'.
They're going to make this a level in train simulator.
"You are the driver of a special train tasked with carrying the body of a great leader. There will be many fans along the route. This is going to be a super hard assignment unlike any of the thousands of trains you've driven before. Don't disappoint anybody!"
Difficult level: 7 red bars
WOW!!! People were dangerously close to the tracks!
would love to see an interview with the conductor of the train and hear his story......what an honor
Classy way to go by rail!
Rail Force One carrying a great president to his final resting place. God bless America rip mr president
Godspeed. And peace to the fallen.
"Americh"
I see what you did there. :)
Kyleroo yeah I was half sleep when I typed that but it is funny tho lmao
I’m betting that if Stobe was still alive, he’d have found a way to be on that train.
No political comments on a funeral video.
Ha, would have been interesting to see him try to get past the Secret Service...
That locomotive should be released in scale for a layout
Rest in peace Mr. President.
Beautiful paint, just like AF1. Classy. Keep the planes as they are.
What a pretty Engine ,,, they should name this dedication and paint on dash of controls “ One Last Duty “
UP #4141 safe trip up to College Station Texas this is a 0 fail mission we cannot fail let’s make this a good one and do it rite for the family.
"There's a train down at the station. It's come to carry my bones away" - Gordon Lightfoot
The engineers don't wave from trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954!
What a beautiful and moving tribute to President George Herbert Walker Bush. He was truly one of America's greatest, most patriotic, and humble presidents.
It’s unfortunate that the heavens take the good ones and leave us with the idiots (you know who I’m referring too)
AHEM*
God bless the Union Pacific for it's legacy restoration efforts... Beautiful train and locomotive. Would be nice if you went in and *lightened* video up a bit? *Too dark* , especially near the end...
I love how they put the FRED to the side, so as to not cover up the President drumhead.
Thanks for posting. What a lovely train!
RIP George Bush. Although he was just mediocre as a president, as a person he always seemed to have his heart in the right place.
JFK wouldn't think so.
Yeah, right. He was an idiot trying to get the American people to accept his nwo bullshit along with his 1,000 points of light meaning the Illuminati. Glad he couldn’t get it done although there are still people in government and out that are still hanging on to his bullshit trying to make it happen.
It looks like Air Force one on railroad tracks.
It was designed to look like Air Force One
Rail force one
In a sense that is what It was supposed to be
At least he got to drive it before he passed on
@@joemichigan4945 lol
thank you to ALL those who have served this country.
Among the Favorite and most respected Presidents of USA. He will be missed and remembered at all times - RiP.
The train is pristine just look at it
This moved me.
@dufus hammer Grow the fuck up
Indeed Kathryn. Union Pacific Railway did a fantastic job with this train. The driver of the locomotive is not only part of history now, but they also have a story to tell his/her children or grandchildren. Thank you for your comment, and God bless you.
@@Rbyrd77 Absolutely! I agree. Thank you and may God bless you as well.
Why was he in the 5th car after the engine? In a regular funeral procession, the hearse is always before the family cars. Seems kind of rude to me.
Can’t believe how close people are standing near to the track when the train comes past.
We’d be arrested in the uk doing that.
But this isn't the UK this is America 😏
Most people when they railfan get close some times even closer
@@fastcsx1412 common sense is to stay 10 to 15 feet from the tracks
The guys in black along the track are secret service. All former presidents have them
Also for people paying respects no where else to stand. Trees behind them
We have had our differences, but in this time of national mourning we stand and salute the American people. From your neighbors to the North. Amen
This is a funeral that will never be forgotten. Well done!
I'm surprised no gangbangers or "artists" tried to tag it.
They would have been some dead gang banger too
Union pacific keeps their Heritage, and excursion fleet in good condition
Okay, I think everyone is getting confused between George HW Bush and he son George Bush.
George HW Bush was the 41st president (before my time lol).
And George Bush (his son) is the 43rd president.
I wanted to see it but I had to work. 🙁 The route started at the UP Westfield yard right down the street from me.
like a train to heaven
Rest in Peace President HW Bush
CraftyFoxe yes Rest In Peace :( I’m gonna make this in MC now
RIP MR President #41 thank you for your service & sacrifice and service to Texas A&M University you will be truly missed in Aggieland and the city of Houston Texas. God bless and god speed.
That’s the Union Pacific train and I work for the csx and Union Pacific railroad
What an amazing send off in an incredibly smart train.
I've no idea why it had two engines.
Wow, what a tribute, beautiful dedication to George H.W. Bush, he loved trains. I'm glad he and Barbara got to see this beautifully painted EMD SD70ACe it in 2005 for its dedication! The horn has a sad and mournful sound to it. I wonder what make and model the horn is.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Bush.
😢🇺🇸😢🇺🇸😢🇺🇸 rest in peace George Herbert Walker Bush Senior😢🇺🇸😢🇺🇸😢🇺🇸
Damn I would hate being the engineer of this train with so many people so close to the tracks. Someone is asking to get hurt with how close some are.
Greg L. I’ve stood 2 feet away from trains going full speed...it’s not dangerous
Yeah what ever there not fowling I am a conductor I ride these everyday I seen foamers stand closer
He was buried on my 20th birthday and some roaring EMD locomotives.
It would be nice if President George Herbert Walker Bush’s demeanor would serve as an example to soften some of the rancor that we see on social media. After seeing a few of these comments, perhaps it is too much to hope for.
Does anyone know what the extra antennas are above the 4141 near the exhaust?
They had live camera views from the engine during it’s trip. I imagine those are the antennas used to uplink those video feeds.
It's so that Bush can get Wi-Fi while onboard the train...
Would have been amazing seeing 844 & 4141 double head this, oh well, 4141 still looks beautiful
0:01 Nice K5LLA horn on UP 4141, the most memorable locomotive for the 41st president of the United States.
Wow. I am speechless and in tears.
The whole consist is spotless
The sound of a train is the sound of America 🇺🇸
Would be awesome to see a sd40-2 or sd45 painted up like 4141
He deserved to be carried by the most powerful equipment in the fleet
I wonder if Carter will get the same treatment
RIP George H. W. Bush, prayers for the family 🙏❤
One last train ride for a man who loved trains so much. I wish when my time came, I would be delivered to my final resting place in a train. This is better than an ordinary hearse. (no offense)
Gorgeous engine
😢😭😢😢I love George H W Bush. May George H W Bush have Rest In Peace.
Goodbye geroge bush you have been a good president
Union pacific and Bush 41. That relationship goes all the way back to the Franklin cover up.
That’s one clean and sharp looking train
How many cars were there?
U.S. Army Ranger One carry the great Mr President George H.W. Bush home. RIP Sir and Thank you for keep the World at Pease.
a beautifully turned out consist of loco's and train, commendations to all involved.
We all got to go sometime.. RIP George W Bush.
I love that the train is yellow, like the sunshine his smile brought to the room or place he was in. #GeorgeHWBush #41
Omg! THE TRAIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN YELLOW THE COMPANY ALWAYS USED YELLOW! This is if you think they painted it yellow
Yellow is Union Pacific's color. The engine is the one that was painted and possibly the flag on the car carrying the casket. They removed two panels and replaced them with plastic for people to see the casket.
Miranda Brooks the flag was always there Union Pacific uses that car for excursions
Life long Democrat and liked and respected 41 very much. Salute to UP.
I wish I could have been on that train crew.
Why isn’t it just 4141 with a single coach carrying the president?
Thanks for posting this.
Nice video well captured. Strange to see at 2.22 a railroad worker standing to attention with hard hat under his arm and 1 second later his work companion standing eating an ice cream with a hand in their pocket?
Lucky I wasn't there you would see worse. Probably a full moon.
That wasn't ice cream it was her cell phone
Could have slowed her down a bit
What a classy way to go. Union Pacific’s cars are pristine
Real Americans demonstrating respect.
First since Eisenhower that casket goes in its final resting place in that way😏🤑
Thought President Lincoln went by train as well
A fitting tribute from the transport mode that built the USA. Well done UP.
@@oriontheraptor8119 he did.
Does it need to have doubled locomotives for eleven coaches?
Nope but they wanted it to look good, and there's a backup locomotive if number one starts to have issues which does happen. Last thing u want to hear over the radio is " locomotive 4141 having issues and is now stranded dead on the tracks at milepost 256"
WOW! Rail Force One. Awesome. U.P. is pure American!
That's awesome what Donald Trump just did shows that He is a very honest and Great man and best president Ever!!!!!
Got to meet the President and first Lady back in the day and they were wonderful people!
Despite the eerily sad silence when I saw the coffin in stars and stripes, I can't think of politics and patriotism when I saw press footage of Bush in the locomotive. I saw a guy with a wry smile and the freedom to do what he wished with his very own train. A fine example of how trains used to bring people together in the twentieth century.
I concur with you on that. Note this to y'all haters....HATE-FILLED POLITICAL COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED AND NOT BE TOLERATED!!! PROTOCOL DICTATES ACTION AGAINST THOSE WHO WRITE THE HATE COMMENTS.
This video is about the train and for GHW Bush's "final journey", NOT POLITICS, please keep that in mind.
Can anyone tell me if there was a signifasence of the train if there is any? Just curious
Commissioned in 2005, here’s a brief video on 4141 ua-cam.com/video/WJNMjybo-SU/v-deo.html
So what happens to the train now? I hope it is on display somewhere and kept up.
Is this the best FUNERAL CEREMONY In the History Of AMERICA ?
😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭
GET OUT OF MY TRAIN (instead of plane!)
Didn't have all that love when he was in office 🤔🤔 now the media loves him and he was a great president when he was in office they hated him
Though impressive, how many dollars went into a train engine used ONCE? Paid for by those who ship on the UP
Good bye President bush you where one of the greatest and forever will be known as such
The lady with the white helmet on at 2:25 did'nt show any respect unlike her colleague who stood to attention with his helmet by his side, good on you sir!
All we can say is she stood there, maybe she’s unaware of the protocol? I know I’d remove my cover when a funeral passes me but then I’ve been taught to show my respects to all who deserve it and like ‘em or not I believe that respect is due to all in death. I hope it was just ignorance on her part rather than a statement. She did at least stand as he passed, could’ve been a lot worse I guess.
RR industry rules 101 " hard had must be worn at all times on RR property, NO exceptions, violation of this is cause for termination." so although you may want to remove your hat out of respect if that train happens to run over a rock or any object and it goes flying for your head or body not only will you be terminated you will have no suit against the railroad. The female employee was correct in keeping her hardhat on, Safety first. PERIOD.
