Did No. 35 ever run as a ceremonial engine?

Anyone know if the CB&Q's "No. 35" ceremonial 4-4-0 ever ran under steam after it became the road's mascot about 1932?

Bob,
I believe that there was a photo of her at the Chicago Railroad Fair in 1948-49 in a recent issue of Trains Magazine that showed her under steam (possibly disguised as a UP engine and used in the re-enactment of the Golden Spike ceremony). Does anyone remember that?
