1017 is a Baby Ten  --  1016--1040;
.
1006--1015 are DE Torps.
.
None of the  "Original"  Muni cars were renumbered.       The Muni 
1101-series car, which is ex-SLPS, was painted in SLPS colors and 
returned to its original SLPS number
.
1050 is the start of the Septic series and either 1070 or 1080 startrs 
the eNewark, ex-TCRT cars!!
