Club Car Conversation (Virtual) - Behind the Scenes of President George H.W. Bush's Funeral Train

February 18 | 5:30 p.m.
Virtual

Join us for February's Club Car Conversation on February 18th at 5:30pm CST! We will be taking a behind the scenes look at President George H.W. Bush's Funeral Train with Union Pacific's then Manager of Food Services, Jennifer Bartholomew and Forman General, Randy Hagge. They will be sharing their first-hand experiences working on the Funeral Train.

Starting in the 1840s US Presidents traveled across the United States by train, for business, campaigning, and for some, at the end of their lives en route to their final resting places. When President Bush died on November 30, 2018, Union Pacific transported the President in a special funeral train led by UP locomotive 4141 on December 6, 2018. Join us as we take a behind the scenes look at President George H.W. Bush’s Funeral Train with UP’s Manager of Food Services Jennifer Bartholomew and Forman General Randy Hagge.

Club Car Conversations are casual virtual chats about pop culture, history, and the railroad.
