Thanks, Andrew -
Per a friend at the GGRM, 2472 was to greet 844 on the latter's trip from Oakland to Stockton this week, and I just assumed 844 would continue east in the next day or two, and over "home" rails (WP having been merged with UP a few years before SP.)
I have updated my post to make it more general.

p.s. There is a new site for my mom's art at [
RoemerArt.imagekind.com], including a few new "art deco" images you might find interesting.
