Maybe they will hang around a little longer in work train service?

The last one to run on the AM Newark was the 2306 in the timeframe you mention. It went up, then got cut at Wayne Electric to go into Gel service. Replaced by 907.

That's the rumor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The end appears to be finally near for Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s fleet of AEM-7 electrics, according to a procurement notice that puts the locomotives up for bid.
...
The sale of the electrics – which also includes the ALP-44 – calls for the “scrapping and full removal” with the work to be done at the carrier’s Frazer, Pa. shop. Also included is a Silverliner III car that has remained on the property since those electric MU’s were retired a decade ago.
“Dismantling may occur on-site prior to removal,” the bid states. “Removal of the rolling stock will be the responsibility of the company awarded the offering and included in their purchase offer.”

The last known Silverliner III is in the list to be scrapped, and I believe is only valued at $3,000!It's sad to see them go but I hope Silverliner III gets sent to a museum along with ALP-44 since NJT junked theirs but can you send a link to the gofundme for these?
