To answer the original posters question... If UP 4014 or 844 go anywhere after the Ogden celebration I would figure at least one or the other may go to Omaha and out to Sacramento. Other than that...it remains to be seen what other parts of the system they might visit with all of the issues going on with layoffs and such at UP this year. Of the cities you listed I would highly doubt either locomotive would go up to Seattle as the only good place to turn either of them is on the BNSF Railway in Auburn, WA. Maybe Portland Oregon would be the location destination in the Pacific Northwest. Will see what happens.
