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
