Is this locomotive still on the roster?

I was cleaning out stuff and found an old picture of me (at age 6) sitting in the cab of a Maine Central GP9??? The picture was taken april of 1991. I'm not that good yet at engine id but the number on the cab is 258. Could someone tell me if this engine still exists, what type is it and is it running?
I'm not sure of the location, it's next to a brick building and I'm pretty sure it was taken in Maine.

I can post a picture if needed.

The engine is in the Maine Central livery and not Guilford but it is that style in black with an red? stripe.

Thanks for any help, Warren

Here are two photos.

If it was the 258, no. The only MEC GP 38 left on the roster is the 252, in Guilford paint, with B&M reporting marks no less!

How do i post the picture. I have it ready to post but do not know how.

As others mentioned, it was a GP38. While I don't have the dates of the transactions, after it was sold by Maine Central it had the following owners and road numbers:

Helm Leasing 258
New Hampshire and Vermont 3800
Helm Leasing 3619
Mackenzie Northern 2000
Mackenzie Northern 3873

It is listed as having been retired this year, disposition unknown.

You can upload the picture to one of the many rail photo sites, and then post the link (address) here. NERAIL Photo Archive would be a good place to post it: http://naphotos.nerail.org/

Thanks
I am working on that right now. I'll be able to post some other guilford pictures I have taken in the L/A area.

Here is the picture:

It's hard to tell, but that might be the back side of the yard office at Rigby Yard in South Portland.

Cool picture and good looking locomotive.

Is the SD39 690 still on the roster?

I'm pretty sure 690 is still active. But there are more knowledgeable people here who can offer a definite answer

There is one SD39 that is still active, and it's either 690 or 692... I can never remember which one it is.

690 is still in service,it was at Ayer today.

Mick-
What exactly do you mean by "Waterville?" I want to obtain that unit for my museum, since it is the last its kind, ex-IT!

"Waterville" is Waterville Maine. The principal shops of Guilford/PanAm are located here and the "dead line" there is often the last stop before scrapping, although Guilford has been known to remove locomotives from the dead line and do major repairs, getting them back in service. Guilford is very short of power. Rumors abound that they are shopping around for used power, but the 20 wide cabs numbered in the 500 series were the last locos added in the late 1990's.
