I see one almost every day here in the Brigham City yard. Maybe it is retired but still has to work to pay the medical insurance. Kind of hard for a locomotive to be a greeter at Walmart!

Utahrails shows most of the units above 2880 still active.

We sent a train down to St. Louis powered by a Dash 9 and three (count them--three!) Tunnel Motors about a week ago. I heard that a couple of days before that this same train had just three tunnel motors--one each in UP, SP, and D&RGW paint schemes.
They're still out there!

There are a few of them out of Roseville in local duties. They come in both flavors patched and full paint.

Second-hand tunnel motors have turned up on DMIR, B&LE, KCS, Rail America, Helm and others. UP is an interesting situation, they still have a fair number of tunnel motors on their roster, and there are also some tunnel motors that have been sold to leasing firms and are immediately leased back to UP, often with the only indication of the change being new reporting marks and "Union Pacific" lined out, number and colors unchanged.
