Consecutive numbers .......


Bill Miller <[email protected]
 

Something I just noticed - look at that consist! Four consecutive numbers as the
exclusive consist of locomotives on the train!

I don't think that has happened very often in our history, gentlemen. Any other
recorded occurences? Even 3 in a row are against the odds in probability!

Time marches on, but history is our guide.
1235-Eastbound freight including containers-SD40-2's
6049-6047-6048-6046.
Here are the approximate probabilities:

2 units - happens all the time
3 units - rare, but not earth shattering
4 units - next to impossible
5 units - not in your lifetime or mine

However there is always an exception ....... new units.

April '93 one day I caught CP #918 with 3021-3022-3023-3024-3025-3026 all elephant style. Surely there are other examples of the like.
