Depends on how ambitious the CSRM crew is feeling to make something like this happen. It would take a lot of work to bring the cab forward out of the museum to display it outside with the Big Boy. Could it be done... yes...however I am not sure if the curve at the crossover of the UP double main that gave the 844’s tender an issue back in 2012 getting into old Sacramento would still be a concern or issue for a larger locomotive or not?
