They're not NG, but the Western Pacific RR Museum has 4 in their collection (plus another 3 that were built during the war):
GE-IR boxcab built 1929
EMC SW1 built 1939
EMC NW2 built 1940
Alco S1 built 1941
Two of these locomotives regularly operate with a third soon to be in operation.
Will be great to see SVRy 100 running on home rails again.
