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:
“The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
