Roanoke Chapter NRHS operates former Norfolk & Western GP30 No. 522, interestingly purchased by N&W under a Virginian Railway equipment trust.

Nevada Southern in Boulder City has ex-UP 844 in running condition. How ironic that the diesel is a museum piece and the steam 844 is still on the UP roster, after being renumbered back from the 8444 road number it carried when the Geep was in service on UP.

The B and O Museum has one as does the RRMPA. The one at Strasburg is in fresh Conrail paint.
