The event website has been updated and "early bird" discounted tickets are on sale. This event celebrates the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad and promises to have about 17 locomotives on display, with at least 9 under steam. Several museums are participating and some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities will take place, including the largest gathering of historic Virginia & Truckee locomotives in 75 years.

Details, including profiles of the visiting locomotives and a schedule of activities, are at http://www.greatwesternsteamup.com.

I really wanted to go, but I'm conflicted over the Big Boy tour of the Pacific Northwest

No worry. UP has cancelled/postponed the Big Boy event.

Looks like UP has postponed the 4014 tour for this year: https://railfan.com/union-pacific-postp ... mmer-tour/.
