Remarks & Notes
"Two fer"
The Great Race across the Southwest with the Big Boy was special enough. It became even more special when UP changed the protection locomotive in Spring, TX to the UP 4141 George H. W. Bush Presidential Library locomotive for the trip through and overnight stay in College Station - home of, you guessed it: the George H. W. Bush Library.

The night before was quite chilly, and allowed for some nice exhaust plume shots.
Special thanks to Mr. Catalina for permission to shoot from his inside his cotton field!
