IMHO, Jeff -
#4449 and #844(4) should be schnoz to schnoz, with 4014 close by. Unfortunately, the Union Pacific doesn't like "foreign" locomotives on their rails, so neither your idea nor mine is likely to come to fruition. But #4449 did make it to Ogden several years ago - see [ngdiscussion.net].

Back in 1994, the 100th Anniversary was celebrated by #2472 pulling a train from San Jose to SLO for the weekend; here are some old scans that I need to re-do on the Nikon:
