This is going to be a lot cooler than it sounds on paper.

I went to the funeral museum a few weeks ago, and it has a section about the Bush funeral and lots about the train.  Very interesting.

The George and Barbara Bush Foundation is very excited that the 4141 Locomotive will be on permanent display at the Bush Presidential Library,” said Max Angerholzer, Bush Foundation CEO. “We are grateful to Chancellor Sharp, Texas A&M and Union Pacific for making it possible for 4141 to be available to the public for years to come.”

There are renderings floating around but they were not approved due to the location (right next to the pond). Instead, this building will be on the right as you near the library in the area enclosed by the road, service driveway, and library building. Additionally, there is a request in with the Air Force for one of the current Air Force Ones (I know that's the callsign and not the aircraft name but that's what everyone knows them as, you nitpickers) when they are decommissioned which were introduced during President Bush's presidency. I think the library has a good shot at getting one, especially since the request included a letter from the late president shortly before his passing.
