UP
George Bush 41 No. 4141 still sits in front of UP's Jenks Shops in
North Little Rock as of 12:45 p.m. Aug 23. There has been some rumors
that this locomotive was in Texas, but it hasn't moved from here since
the end of March. Little Rock's downtown area is seen to the right. As
a courtesy, I always go up to the UP guard shack just to my left and
tell them I'm going to take pictures outside the fence.
RIGHT-Shell of a Denver & Rio Grande unit.
