If all go well, it looks like the Daylight and 2 other engines currently residing in the old SP/UP Brooklyn roundhouse may be getting a new home.
See: http://www.oregonlive.com/port...otives_will_get.html

Looks like the Friends of 4449 have a whole bunch of fund raising to do.

From the referenced article: "Oregon Railroad & Navigation No. 197: Built in 1905 by Baldwin Locomotive Works for the E. H. Harriman rail empire that later merged into the Union Pacific. (Being rebuilt)"

We've been waiting a long time to see this. I'm glad someone saw the light and gave them a home.
