Any stored units now fall into just 2 categories.

1.  Waiting for roundhouse / maintenance building space to do heavy maintenance and / or overhaul.

2.  Good for nothing but junk / parts.

I believe all those lines you mention are short of motive power and are even running leased units to keep up with their motive power demand, so they probably have nothing in storage except for the two reasons already mentioned..

BNSF still had numerous LUGO units two or three months ago.
