Can't speak for all railroads, and I'm sure each one has its own system, but I know back when I was a teenager living near the Detroit & Mackinac in Roscommon County, the four Alco C425s that powered the trains on the run between Bay City and Mackinaw City were numbered for the month and year of acquisition. Thus: 1280 - acquired in December 1980 181, 281 & 381 - acquired in January, February & March of 1981 Pete (PSK now near CC70.4)
