TOPS did have some interesting side-effects. Previously locos were numbered with a D prefix (Diesels) or an E prefix (Electrics). The first of class was numbered D400, D200, etc - however, TOPS couldn't handle 50000 or 40000 - result being that the first of class had to take the highest number. D400 became 50050, for example.
