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.
