	PRCo absorbed cars from a variety of systems which were numbered from
1--687 so we have a variety of numbers here, such as but not limited
to::    1,  12,  123,  11,  111,  23,  234,  432,  43, 32, 321, 21, 
etc., etc.

	But I also like  1.)--symmetrical numbers and others in
2.)--progression or 3.)--regression as well as 4.)-- progressive or
regressive based upon our pronunciation of 4-digits - 1011 or Ten-Eleven
as we often say, 5.)--Double-Speak, AND 6.)--Catchy!!    7)--OTHERS???
