I know the pennsy and the U.P. both had b-units of the GP7 and GP9 models. Are there still any around?

Are there still any around?The GP9B's on the PRR transfered to PC then CR to be used for a bit then striped of parts and scraped 8 remained in PC black and were remarked a 9th made it to CR Blue with a logo and number. As far as I can see from the conrail cyclopedia it looks like only 9?? were luckey enough to last as far as early 1980?
I would think that the UP started scraping there B Units as late as the mid 1980's but not sure. This might be a question for the guys on the UP Page.
