This engine has not been scrapped, in fact
As of 2021, the locomotive is still in service, having been rebuilt and upgraded into an SD40-3 as part of a refurbishment program carried out by CSX in 2015, although its number is now #4389. It was delivered as Conrail #6410 in September 1987.
The newly given number 4389 is not prime but factorized as 4389 = 3 × 7 × 11 × 19, and also results from concatenation of two primes 43 & 89.
Here're other engines numbered 8888.
