Got a bit of a surprise this morning while railfanning in Vancouver. Word came through the grapevine that UP 4141, the locomotive with the paint scheme for the George Bush Presidential Library, was on the QHKRV out of East Portland. A few minutes later we heard radio chatter indicating he was making a setout. Robert Scott and I decided to head south in hopes that it would be tied up in Brooklyn Yard for a bit. We found 4141 just north of Willsburg Junction, and after about an hour’s wait he finally finished his yard business and headed south. I was happy to capture a decently-lit shot of a rare unit.
