This car, LT 8251, was making a rattling sound as it passed. Click on the link embedded link below to hear it:
UP 6577, Distributed Power Unit (DPU).
UP 4141, the George Bush Library unit, still sits in front of UP's Jenks Shops in North Little Rock at 2:09 p.m. April 17, 2011. No official news as to what will happen with it, but I suspect UP has been asked to store it until needed by the Bush Library at some future date and I also suspect that UP has been paid to store it. Since the UP Store is open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the public can go into that store, which is inside Jenks, and walk right past this locomotive on the way. You'll have to sign in at the guard shack at the main gate though. I was asked why doesn't UP store it in a shelter instead of it being outside in the elements, and the short answer was there was no room inside the shops for long-term storage of locomotives.
Another locomotive on display at Jenks is UP 6938, a DD40X Centennial, which as been here for several years. The city of Little Rock skyline can be seen to the right.
