Thanks for the photos of 329 guys. Am now wondering how long it has been since it has been seen on the road working. And speaking of 397 being seen and photographed,
I have never seen a picture of this unit since its unfortunate mishap up north, quite some time ago now to see just how much damage was done.
The 7 is missing from this angle but like my own pic of #329, this also taken November 10th
That’s 339… 329 is a SD40

329 was referenced to the previous pic I'd posted in which ~Z~ posted his own

397 is the one as seen. I'll supply another angle of it

Not the best but looking behind the three you can see where the sides if unit were removed

Thanks once again, this time for the 397 photo's. Not as bad as I envisioned but could have been much worse from the other side. If I heard right, the major cause of its retirement was due to a severely bent frame which is to bad because it still looks very good all considering.
