There are still some in use, but not on class 1 or 2 roads. Most modern locos are just too heavy (150-200 tons) for them. The tourist roads have a couple in use, mostly for show. Several roads used them well into their dieselization periods and I've heard some where still in use in the 70's but ya know how the rumor mill is.
