[PRCo] Re: Gaps in Numbering

[Herb Brannon]

On the other hand they may have only wanted to purchase the number of DE cars that were purchased. The SE cars are, of course, different so they deserve a new fleet number series. Therefore the unused 44/4500 series numbers were just plain unused numbers. PRCo was not "reserving" the unused numbers for anything.

The missing 4400s and 4500s suggests that they really had not ruled 
out more double end cars in 1917 when they ordered the 4700s and that 
they were leaving space. Logical?
