Is it true that the Hobo/Winnipesaukee Railroad retired all of their ALCO switchers and replaced them with EMD?

Last year the majority of the trains were pulled by three beautiful EMD SW1000 and SW1001 switchers, but I believe there are still some ALCOs in service. Hobo-owned S1s 958 and 1186 are in service as backup power. It is the state owned 959 and 1008 that are currently out of service.
