My guess is that it was the year painted There were also some locations where the mileage from some designated point was painted, but these numbers don't seem to be that kind of number which would be a 3 digit number. Pete

While looking through some early photos of Burlington depots on Lines West I noticed small numbers underneath the depot name on the ends of some of the depots. They seem to be on photos of depots early in the century and are very small and I couldn’t read them on a number of photos but was able to read the following: Arapahoe 8-07, Madrid 08, Red Cloud 04. Could these be the year built? Maybe the one with a dash is month and year? Any help would be appreciated.
