I hate to think that the former Amtrak SDP40F's have ALL been destroyed. Certainly at least ONE should have been preserved. These were the first new locomotives purchased by Amtrak. While they had a spotted career, their demise was more political than technical. The derailments that they were infamous for, occured on bad track. If I were assigned one of them right now, out of Chicago, to run to, say, Toledo, I would have no hesitation at all to run at 79 mph.
