RE: (erielack) New Atlas HO RS3s

["Tupaczewski, Paul R (Paul)" <paultup_@_lucent.com>]

Atlas only releases numbered units as part of its "classic" series, ir would appear. Unnumbered units are only part of "newer runs" (e.g., H24-66, H16-44, SD35)

I can't imagine how hard it is to actually remove just the roadnuber, though?
