Reply to "Bush 41 train"

I bought the MTH version of the SD70ACe George Bush, cab No. 4141, catalog No. 20-2828-1, shortly after I started in O-Gauge. I ran it frequently until mid 2011, and then put it on the shelf. After watching the funeral procession and train today, I took it from the shelf (did not need dusting as the shelves are covers with a Plexiglas front), put it on the track, and it ran just fine right away.

Funny (or sad) how ignorant some (many) news people are. They referred to this locomotive as "the leading car of the train, which has just been painted air-force-one blue"

Then another one mentioned how nice it was of UP to paint this car just for the funeral. And followed up by saying that it would be repainted yellow soon.

I know, I know; they do not have to be railroad experts - but seldom, if ever, have I heard anyone refer to a locomotive as the lead car of a train.

Now is time to go back and run my Bush 4141
