When do you think UP 844 will be retired?

It seems to me that one of these days the boiler on UP 844 will need to be replaced. Someday the running gear will also need major pieces replaced. Then there are the cast parts such as wheels and frame that may develop cracks and will need to be replaced. It makes me think that when some of these major repairs come due at the same time, the UP will make a cost-benefit analysis of running the 844 and will decide it is time to retire it and put it on display, maybe in Nebraska or Wyoming. I wonder when that will be. How about 2040 as an initial guess? Your thoughts?
