Greetings!

	Apparently the numbering started with 1776, ex-1616, even though 
the 1775 slot was vacated by a true GE 1700 series car.

	Sooooo, 1776-1799 is 24 cars.
	Then there was 1976 (first flat-front) and 77/54.

	Think that was all - total of 26 1600 series cars renumbered as 
1700 series cars.
