This is intended to make you smile.

This falls into the folder labeled, "There is a prototype for almost
anything."
The June 14, 1971 issue of Norfolk & Western Railway Employee Magazine has
an interesting article on page 46. It describes how an alert yard clerk
caught two Missouri Pacific box cars bearing the same number! The identical make
box cars were each lettered and numbered "MP 35477, but on adjacent tracks of
the Lima, Ohio yard."

What does this mean to me? I can't wait for a layout visitor to ask about
my having multiples of the same car numbers in my hopper car fleet!
