What's happened with the loco? Haven't seen any pictures of it surface on social media lately.
I saw one of the cab cars on the back of a work train in Wayne Yard. I guess it's the end of their revenue career.

What's the current status of these? Last Monday, I saw them Overbrook Yard again. They're in pretty ugly shape: There's a big patch of rust on some of their roofs; and their paint seems to be wearing thin. They're not up for auction on SEPTA's Procurement page, and even I'm beginning to wonder now ...
