Actually, I think there is RR equipment assigned to the office of the President or at least there used to be. The car was called US railroad car #1. It was the Ferdinand Magellan recently stored at the RR museum in Miami. It has been used by recent presidents. Museum visitors can walk through it. It is a beautiful car.

This is an SD70ACe, not an SD70M. UP can paint their units the way they want--they own them. I didn't see any other presidential libraries hosting railroad-related exhibits for a full year.

Nice locomotive but i often wondered why didnt they do one for Abe Lincoln or the connnecting of the coasts and the transcontintenal railroad? So is it true UP has a camo locomotive for the troops over seas? or is it just a model?

UP painted an SD40 family loco (don't recall the dash #) in the same camo patern that was used in Desert Storm 1991. I believe it carried the names of UP employees in theater. If I understand correctly it has since been repainted.

UP 3593 Desert Storm Victory. It was an SD40-2 and carried the names of the employees who served. They repainted it because they kept losing it in the desert. Just kidding.
