I have photos of the 39 and, I think, the 40 during the week before Christmas 1971 on the National. Don’t have photos to show it, but I believe the MP units took over at St. Louis from PC power. The 41 also shows up in photos that have been published. I don’t recall seeing any of the other units.
By the end of MP operations on May 1, 1971, I believe only the 37 through 43 were still on the roster. Some of those units could have been out of service, though, because the only ones that seem to show up in photos are the three mentioned above.
