Had the good fortune to run into BRHA member Gerald Edgar and wife aboard the 
Capitol Ltd. and Saturday my wife and I had dinner with them in the diner. The 
CBQ yahoo group came up and I mentioned my respect for the extent and breadth 
of knowledge members possess. I had discussed this at Trainfest with Charlie 
Vlk, too. So here is a general question for this great knowledge base:

Some railroads (and not just small shortlines) will number a series of freight 
cars like: Box Cars #400-498, even only; Flat Cars #101-399, odd only. Why the 
use of only odd or even numbers, or skipping numbers?

Thanks in advance. Tom Burg
