Where to turn a UP 4000 in Portland, Oregon??

There have been rumors/hopes that I have heard that the UP 4014 might make its way to the west coast again this year visiting northern California here this time in the Roseville/Sacramento area and up to Portland, Oregon area via the old Espee Shasta/Cascade route and back. Apparently there is still a concern with a few clearances on the Columbia Gorge route for the Big Boy?? My question is if this happens, where might they turn the Big Boy in the Portland area to head back south? Ive heard a few of the wyes on the UP system are abit tight around the Steel Bridge area? Might they go to Vancouver and work it out to turn around on the BNSF's wye there? Just curious how this would work out if anyone up in the Portland area may know which would be the best place for a Big Boy locomotive to be turned around would be.

Thanks,

Nick
