By and large, it should be able to go the majority of places you can take 844 or 3985. I'm sure there are a few spots here and there where you might have an issue turning it on a wye or getting it into a display site..."mundane", but important, concerns. I'd be surprised if most of the mainlines themselves present many issues. It's the side tracks and switches once you get off the mainline to tie up for the night where you might find some issues.
That engine shoudl be able to run on most UP main lines. The axle loading of the main engine (34 tons) is less than that of a 110 ton grain car (37.5 tons.). So the main constraint is the location of wyes with heavy rail.
