Big Boy Restoration in the works?

Well, it's a rumor at this point, but someone at the Union Pacific is talking about restoring one of the Big Boys 4-8-8-4 steam locomotives to operating condition. See this link: www.railgiants.org/union-pacific-big-boy-4014.htm
Interestingly, this is one of the numbers in the just released AZL series. How about a Z Scale convention in Pomona, California?
