Re: [CBQ] GP40 Numbering

["bdurham260@yahoo.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Great info Bob!  My quick review shows that the lower number sequence only had 10 slots above or open and another 20 GP40s wouldn't fit.  I have not confirmed the retirement date of the GP7s vs the arrival dates of the 40's.  Looks like there was plenty of room to renumber the original group with the new arrivals in the 600 series. I don't think the phase difference would have been enough to necessitate separate road number series.

Is there any difference between the two different number series of GP40's?  Was the any difference in paint schemes?  Am I correct only one of these units got the pre merger scheme?

Thank you,
