The FRA/AAR computer that tracks locomotives is set up to accept no more then 4 digits, so if a railroad runs out of number they must use another reporting mark like UP did with the UPY reporting mark and some of there retired units got WP (westen pacific) marks to free up numbers for new units. <br /> <br />gwl <br />http://photosbygreg.20m.com
