What happened to all the SW8/9's?

Does anyone know the fate of the CR SW8's and SW9's? Are some still around working on shortlines??

Conrail rebuilt some of them. They were scattered to the winds along with all pre-SW1500 switchers, although a few were still on the property as late as the split. Just as an example, completely by accident we found one used to work a grain elevator in rural Indiana on a stub of former Pennsy. Still in blue paint, likely ex-DL&W. I'm sure barring a major failure it's still there.

Berkshire Scenic in Lenox, MA has preserved a SW8 in Conrail paint. But it may soon be repainted into Berskshire Scenic/NH paint.
