UP 4141, the George Bush, Sr Library locomotive is still stored at UP's Downing B. Jenks shop in North Little Rock, Arkansas at 8:12 a.m. May 23, 2010. I have no later news on what UP will do with this locomotive. I understand that it's in working condition and UP runs it every 6 months or so in the back of the shops to keep it operational. If anyone knows its future destiny, let me know.
