The casket of former president George H.W. Bush will be transported to College Station by train on Dec. 6. 

According to the AggieNetwork, the train will unload at the railroad crossing at Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive. The funeral procession will travel on George Bush Drive toward the Bush Library Complex. 

Union Pacific is participating in the funeral procession. The train will leave from Union Pacific's Westfield Auto Facility by 1 p.m. and expected to arrive in College Station by 3:25 p.m. The train station will not be open to the public. 

Bush will be buried behind the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library alongside his wife, Barbara, and daughter, Robin.

Instead of flowers, the Bush family requests that donations be made to the Bush School of Government and Public Service.
