Amazingly all three AFT locomotives are preserved. SP #4449 is preserved in operating condition at Oregon. Reading #2101 is in its aft colors at B&O Railroad Museum. Texas and Pacific #610 is preserved at Palestine Texas.
@@Voucher765 Yes I know 2100 is pulling the new American freedom train consist. But the biggest reason she was selected is because of the running cost. If the running cost doesn’t go down soon we’ll never see 4449 pull the freedom train again even be painted red white and blue nor will we ever see 2101 restored to run again. Even locomotive 610 is still out of action. I’m glad the freedom train is going to run again, what is set up it’s gonna keep happening because of the running cost. And there’s also the positive train control system to.
No matter what happens we will still have our Freedom Train, The consist will be a powerful symbol of not only preservation but also of the country's history and strength
I got to see 2101 at the B&O museum in the parking lot.

And you can thank the crew of the High Iron Company for that, As a railfan he and his group did it for us all.
