This week, the Bush family has accompanied the coffin of former President George H.W. Bush over thousands of miles by car and by plane.

But the final leg of the journey in Texas will be made by train – and no ordinary train.

Union Pacific Locomotive 4141 will take Bush’s body to College Station, where he will be laid to rest at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University.
