Agreed Arlen, never say never as anything is always possible when the right people come together to make it happen. Was great that UP also made it a point to also make sure and get their UP 1996 SP Heritage Unit up to Tacoma also for this event just because the 4449 was involved. Some awesome memories with good people.
