According to EXTRA 2200 SOUTH Issue 93 in August 1991 there were only two left running, 958 and 960. When was the last revenue run and on what line?

For some reason I really liked these. They never had a "Last run of the E60C" (in original Amtrak colors, we'd joke). I should dig up the old photos at some point.

I used to see 'em come through Hazlet all the time on weekday rush hour trains. As far as I could tell, they were never used in local off-peak service though.
