Yep there are a few still rolling. Especially in area's that require long back up moves. Some even been fitted with ditchlights and a horn.

The local train here in Salisbury, NC uses them because they have to back up. One guy sit in the caboose and give reports to the engineer as he backs his train up. Very interesting to hear on the scanner.
