On the Nassau Tower discussion, I accidentally stated that LIRR 601 was being restored by SMS Rail Lines, when in fact 601, along with 611 and 614, is being restored in New Jersey by a private owner (likely the Winchester and Western) while engine 602 is being restored by SMS Rail lines. I have also checked rrpicturearchives.net, diesel shop rosters as well as trainsarefun.com and noticed that certain ALCOs, such as 607, do not have any status past their retirement on the LIRR.
I will list what I know so far:
600 is part of the Western New York RHS(?)
601, 611 and 614 are being restored in New Jersey, possibly by the Winchester and Western (Can anyone confirm this?)
602 is being restored by SMS Rail Lines
603 is stored (and hopefully restored[?]) in the Delaware Lackawanna yard in Scranton
604 is preserved by the Illinois Railway Museum
605 is preserved in Nashville, TN
606 was scrapped due to a wreck(?)
607 is now WM 303 and is currently sitting in Barton, MD
608 became power unit 3100 and is now scrapped
609 was scrapped due to a wreck
610 is now at the West Virginia Central(?)
612 was scrapped due to a wreck
613 is preserved in Portland, OR
615 was sold to SEPTA as a work unit
616 was stored in Passaic, NJ as part of the New York and Greenwood Lake Railroad before being moved with the rest of the equipment there
617 is preserved in Danbury
618 is preserved in Thomaston, CT(?)
With this info stated, is there any progress on some of these ALCOs, such as the ones which were purchased by shortlines including 602 and 603, as well as the current condition of the FAs preserved in museums?
