Identify locomotive

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.

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

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