Sorry, I must have hit a bad key. Right now, the KCS is starting a 5-7 year plan to re-number ALL of its locomotives to help identify its horsepower rating--all 1500 hp units (SW1500/MP15ACs) will be 1500-series, GP38s will be 2000-series, GP40s 3000-series, SD40s will be 6000 (here you double the HP rating for 6-axle engines), SD50s 7000-series, SD45s 7200 series, their new GE AC4400s the 8800-series. I'm sure I missed a model or 2. Their old Midsouth engines will not be renumbered. Some companies number them by model. The big yellow RR had so many locos, they had to apply for and obtained a new set of reporting marks (UPY) for their yard switchers.
