Four consecutive numbers as theHere 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.

(Detroit) on Grand Trunk Western and observed a four-unit light movement of GP38s, in ASCENDING consecutive order! I suspect that a creative hostler had something to do with this. Alas, I didn't have my camera with me that day. -----Original Message-----
