Unfortunately Mr. UP steam shot the proposal of 4449 attending down... clearly did not want any other locomotive taking away attention from his Big Boy show. So lets stretch out our crew and throw in 844 also after months of rebuild on the Big Boy. Oh well... life goes on.
I can say this, if Steve Lee were still in charge of the program... I am willing to bet you would likely have seen 844 and 4449 together in Ogden...and also possibly the 3985. Or at least 3985 would still be operable and ready to go...
