Of the first order of 10 (700-709) 3 are left in their original Phase III fade out paint schemes - 700, 706, 707. The rest have been repainted into the new phase V.
I have not seen one in phase III for a LONG time. I have noticed on some of the Phase 4 repaints that a small section of the eletrical equipment box, behind the cab, still has the three stripes.
There are still around though. Trainpictures.net has a picture of an Empire Service train taken just this past week being lead by 706 still in phase III. Sharp lookin unit still!
Albany-Renesslaer shops is the primary home for maintenence for the AC-DM's. Ocasionally if they have trouble with it in Albany the locomotive will be sent to New Orleans or Chicago (Chicago is the main diesel hub) for repair.
