I doubt it. I believe it is more related to reassembling 4014 and working towards a steam test, and then future break-in operations within the Cheyenne Terminal.
That makes sense. I find it funny how many people think that 4014 will go directly from a steam test to hooking up to the passenger equipment to go straight to Utah for the 150th events.
The only example of something like that I can think of was the Freedom Train's "30 day miracle" restoration of Reading 2101. Ross Rowland's crew was doing touch-up on the paint as it literally rolled up to the train in Virginia to start it's journey. I'm not sure they had any time to do other than a single test run...
