I very highly doubt UP will include the 4449 in this event. It is unfortunate that they do not as it would be nice if they would put a train together that would represent the Central Pacific/Southern Pacific western end of the route they are celebrating. Central Pacific/Southern Pacific is todays Union Pacific Railroad and it is all one family now and it took the CP/SP to make what UP's system is today out west. I have a good friend who works for the UP that says himself and others on the railroad think it would be appropriate for UP to include the SP 4449 with a special train for this event. I have read in the past on other discussion forms people suggest they could use the SP 4449 along with their UP 1996 SP Heritage unit and run from Sacramento to Ogden to include the CP/SP side of the story to meet with UP 4014 and 844. This would just be the icing on the cake along with the UP 4014 Big Boy return for this milestone in the routes history.
