Erik H,
The Museum of Transport in St. Louis has worked with preservation groups and museums before. That's how the Frisco 1522 excursions happened. They also recently loaned a big steamer to a museum back east.
They have the SP 4460, a class GS6. Therefore you, Erik H, could form a group and help do the restoration and logistical work to get 4460 to California for excursion trips. The project could consume half your working life.
Or you can accept the reality that 4449 is owned by the City of Portland and is not leaving its home there.
I think you will find it a lot easier to just accept reality.
