4014 was out in the open for 50 years, The cab-forward is in a climate-controlled building, and kept much nicer, and missing parts can always be fabricated...... I think the only reason UP got 4014 was because it was the only Big Boy that they could get, no other rail museum would be dumb enough to get rid of theirs!!!! (Silly Southern California Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society!!!) I think the cab-forward would be easier to bring back, but UP didn't pick it for 3 reasons: 1-It's not Union Pacific, its Southern Pacific 2- It's not a big boy 3- The California State Railroad Museum isn't dumb enough to trade or sell it.
