Looks like it survived a while, though not in working order http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1302231

A BN roster lists these units as "retired" in 1992, and they were then sold. Jacob's link above shows this unit sitting in Ohio. I wonder if it is still there rusting away?

Too bad they had to go. None of the modern power has the beautiful lines and curves of the E's and F's.
