The Great Northern locomotive on display in Whitefish, MT is an RS1 according to the plaque on the side of the locomotive.

There are several diesel locomotives on display in Roundhouse Park in Toronto, across from the Rogers Center. One appears to be a Canadian National GP7 and one appears to be a Canadian Pacific Baldwin S-12.

Ann Arbor #20 an RS1 is on display in Shepard, MI. It is owned by the Southern Michigan Railroad Society and has been on long term loan for many years. It is complete minus a few parts she may have donated to her sister AA 21 located in Raisin Center, Mi.

Alas the two will likely never clasp shake hands again as both are friction bearing and would take a small fortune to move. #20 sits among other equipment near the depot on a disconnected spur, a guest of the village who will likely never leave and will slowly decay into rust dust.

The C415, I've been told, is a gutted shell.

Doesn't the Museum of the American Railroad in Dallas (Frisco) have a Centennial? And I thought it was operable. Seems like I remember it moving into the museum grounds at Fair Park under its own power. I could be wrong.

IC 8701 is on display in Carbondale, IL. I never checked, but I suspect it is mostly complete.

Soo Line FP-7 500-A is displayed at the Ladysmith Rail Display in Ladysmith, WI. This is basically a shell, although there is at least the prime mover block inside.

there was a former PRR GP-7 IIRC painted in ConRail colors, along with a NKP bay window caboose in Wellsburg,WVa, but several years ago the city decided it need the land they were on.The caboose went to BLRHS but I can't remember where the diesel went.

This little center cab locomotive is on display in Riverfront Park in Wenatchee, WA, right next to the sheds of the 7.5" gauge Wenatchee Riverfront Railway. It looks to be a former military locomotive to me. I peered through the louvers on the far end and there was no engine there. In don't know if there was/is a second prime mover at the other end.

South Bend, a gravel pit on the way up to the South Shore airport station has their little porter diesel on display that used to work the pit.

More a steam fan I seem to have the liking to the Gp7-9 design.

There is this narrow gauge Plymouth and three sand cars at the US Silica (sand mine) facility just north of Berkeley Springs, W.Va. It's quite visible alongside US 522:
