3080 was a EMD GP-40. I'm not sure there was a 3980 diesel.

It looks like that number was never used by the D&RGW.

Hello all..........

I am new to the forum and would welcome some assistance.

In the heydays of the D&RGW Railroad, there was a locomotive numbered 3980....

Does anyone know what type engine that might have been..............example GE, EMD Alco or ?

It appears to me to be too small to be a road locotive.........maybe a switcher?

Assistance appreciated.
