Preservation
One locomotive of the type, former Amtrak 644, has been preserved by Northwest Rail Museum near Portland, OR and is in storage. The group plans to restore it to its Amtrak as-delivered state, minus the steam-generators and a few other details. Two heavily modified SDP40Fs in EMD livery exist as test beds at the AAR testing center in Pueblo, CO. It is unknown what their internal configuration is, or what the future holds for them.

Famous quotes containing the word preservation:
“There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think we have a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Is not our role to stand for the one thing which means our own salvation here but with which it will also be possible to save the world, and with which Europe will be able to save itself, namely the preservation of the white man and his state?”
—Hendrik Verwoerd (1901–1966)
“Men are not therefore put to death, or punished for that their theft proceedeth from election; but because it was noxious and contrary to men’s preservation, and the punishment conducing to the preservation of the rest, inasmuch as to punish those that do voluntary hurt, and none else, frameth and maketh men’s wills such as men would have them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
