Even though many of them may have an outward appearance that looks mostly complete, it's very possible that some of them are empty or nearly empty inside.You would be correct about the GP40s in the deadline being heavily cannibalized. The three or four I got a good look at today didn't have much left to them and it would take alot to get them back up and running. So I'm just guessing that whats there will never run again.
Important items like traction motors and power assemblies are usually the first to be removed for use in other units, followed by bigger (and equally important) items such as generators, air compressors, turbos, and whole engine blocks.

Rumor has it that one of the GMTX units was working a branchline job in District 1 today.

3001 was trailing unit in a train going through Green, Maine around 8am headed toward Leeds Junction and possibly Waterville, unable to tell if under it's own power or not.
