Prototype History:
Union Pacific 4141 is an EMD SD70ACe locomotive owned by Union Pacific. Its paint scheme is based on that of Air Force One and "George Bush 41" is painted on the sides in honor of the George Bush Presidential Library and George H. W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States.

The unit has been stored at UP's North Little Rock shop since the economic downturn in 2008. During February 2018, 4141 received cosmetic touch ups to its paint and then returned to storage.

After the passing of George H. W. Bush on November 30, 2018, UP 4141 was brought out of storage and was sent to Houston, Texas on December 1, 2018. The locomotive participated in the funeral train for George H. W. Bush on December 6, running from Spring, Texas to College Station, Texas.
