Roughly half have been unceremoniously scrapped. These units are by and large of little to no historic value and you're not going to find an accurate list of what has already been cut up. You won't even find an accurate list of what is getting scrapped because G&W has changed it since it was first published.
The only locomotives really gaining any attention at all are the ones you keep asking about. The others are just tired old units, many of which were already out of service or planned for retirement before this EPA settlement was agreed to. G&W definitely didn't send its "best and brightest" to get cut up.
