The Bush Funeral Train...
I've been busy with work and preparing for a move so I haven't followed the funeral for President George H.W. Bush. I heard the story on the morning news in my car. They described Engine 4141 a funeral train going 70 miles from Spring to College Station where people can line up along the stops to view the flag draped casket and give their last goodbyes.An interesting bit of history found on one news clip "Bush’s funeral train procession is the first since 1969, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower was taken by railroad from Washington to his burial place in Kansas."

He's being very highly spoken of, was that eulogy-speak or was he really a highly-respected president?
biff, I agree. At the age of 94, Jimmy Carter could be the next to take a ride.
