George H. W. Bush will be carried to his final resting place at the presidential library on the campus of Texas A&M by a specially outfitted locomotive that resembles Air Force One.
The 4,300-horsepower train will take Bush’s casket and family and friends on the 70-mile trip from Houston to College Station, passing through five small towns on the roughly two-and-a-half-hour trip on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.
“I might have left Air Force One behind,” Bush joked about locomotive 4141 — painted in the blue and white of the presidential aircraft — during its 2005 unveiling at the university in honor of the 41st president.
