Donner Pass Tunnel Clearances (UP 4014)

A comment in the below discussion about Big Boy 4014 made me wonder, is there enough clearance for the 4014 to make it through some of the curved tunnels up on Donner Pass? Big Boy being longer than the SP Cab Forwards and also UP 3985 made me think this could be an issue of it getting all the way to Sacramento if they plan on bringing it that far sometime this year. I remember Steve Lee saying a Big Boy could not travel around many parts of the UP system due to clearances like UP 3985 could.

Has UP determined if this would be an issue stopping them from bringing the locomotive out to Roseville and Sacramento?
