This seems like a good idea and I personally think it is very doable. If both UP and BNSF are willing to participate in this event, they could work with BNSF again for 4449 to go to Sacramento with UP assistance where needed. And obviously UP would just schedule one or maybe two of their steam locomotives to make the trip from Cheyenne. They have three years to work out these details with Union Pacific and BNSF.
