By 1952 that had changed to  All  GE:

Ingram - 24, 52, (76)

1275-1299    Ingram
1550-1564    Ingram
1788-1799    Ingram



Tunnel was different in 1952 but Not By Much::

Tunnel - 85, 88, (173)

1200-1209    Tunnel
1230-1242    Tunnel

Wonder about the split in numbers and not continuous block  --  guess it 
was for spreading around the system little by little as they were delivered.



Homewood not much different in 1952 as well::

Homewood - 50, 80, (130)

1210-1229    Homewood
1243-1274    Homewood
