== Surviving units == {{Refimprovesection|date=September 2021}} Multiple EMD FT units survive today. The lead A-unit from demonstrator No. 103 is displayed at the [[National Museum of Transportation]] in [[St. Louis, Missouri]]. The original A unit was presented to the museum in a June 27, 1961 ceremony. The [[Virginia Museum of Transportation]] currently owns a B unit, which was on loan to the Museum of Transportation from 2015 to 2020. Both units are cosmetically restored and painted in the original GM demonstrator paint scheme. However, only the A unit is from the original demonstrator set. The two B units and the other A were eventually scrapped after years of service. The B unit now on display at Roanoke, originally just a regular FT B unit, was later stripped of its engine and other locomotive parts and converted to a boiler car. It later went to the museum in Virginia. In 1989, this former FT B unit, as well as the genuine demonstrator A unit from St. Louis, were repainted in the original demonstrator colors for a celebration at EMD (McCook, Illinois, often described by mailing address LaGrange) for the 50th anniversary of the FT. They toured together and then were returned to their respective museum owners. One FT-A unit, [[Ferrocarril Sonora–Baja California|FSBC]] 2203-A, is on display in [[Mexico]]. It was originally built for the [[Northern Pacific Railway]]. Three B-units from the [[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]] are preserved. #960604 is at the [[North Carolina Transportation Museum]] in [[Spencer, North Carolina]], #960602 is in [[Conway, South Carolina]], and #960603 is at the [[National Museum of Transportation]] in [[St. Louis, Missouri]].
