When Toronto acquired its Peter Witt fleet in the 1920s the streetcars were given even numbers and the trailers odd numbers. A trailer train, for instance, might have had streetcar 2430 and trailer 2431. Why? I don't know. <br /> <br />There are all kinds of numbering systems just like there are all kinds of railway operations. Most companies have rational numbering schemes. In some cases rolling stock numbering could be coded (or reflect different rolling stock classes) and this might vary from property to property unless there is some sort of industry standard on numbering. A numbering scheme using even numbers only (or some other non-consecutive sequence) could also give the impression of having a larger fleet than actually is the case on a small operation.
