Basically none. BNSF gave up on it because it was too expensive and engineers were using them to their max effectiveness to control train speed smoothly without slaxk action and burning brake shoes.

I know an engineer that works for Rio Tinto in southern Australia and he told me they run ECP on the ore trains there. He says they are really nice too.
