Brian,

The Seaboard System GP40-2's were numbered as follows:

January 1983

1636-1652, 1654-1656 20 1972 ex-SCL 6600-6616 17 1980 ex-L&N 6617-6621 5 1980 ex-SCL 6642 1 1972-74 ex-WofA 6643-6644 2 ex-GA 6645 1 ex-A&WP

The Seaboard System Railroad adopted a new numbering system effective April 1, 1984.

6346-6365 (20) ex-SBD 1636-1652,1654-1656; ex-SCL 1636-1652, 1654-1656

6366-6382 (17) ex-SBD 6600-6616 ; ex-L&N

6383-6387 (5) ex-SBD 6617-6621 ; ex-SCL

6391 (1) ex-SBD 6645 ; ex-A&WP 733

Hope this helps.
