Two of them are not retired.

I thought you were overseas. Do you work for the railroad? How would you see a retirement or storage report?

How would you see a retirement or storage report?
On this forum or from other internet sources or from magazines

Is there any way you can direct me to which magazine or other internet sources that I can find this?

How many AEM-7s have been scrapped so far and which units?
  by Tom6921
 
I saw #921 at Washington on December 3rd.

From the ACS-64 thread:
Three AEM-7s still in service while one is already on display in a museum.
Which three? Reports on this forum have dried up
  by ThirdRail7
 
I'm not sure were he got three. There are 6 operating on trains today...and reports have dried up because people have more to do than babysit engine numbers for someone 1000s of miles away.

You're welcome to count yourself by observing the wayside, like people did for years prior to be able to whine and complain about a lack of information on the internet.

two or three days ago, a person in fleet management told another forum there is 11 still in service.
  by amtrakhogger
 
919 in service as of today.
