At least the Pan Am gurus have a bit of a sense of humor with the number.. 007, the locomotive that likes it's diesel, shaken and not stirred.. They could have made the locomotive "Smart" and numbered it "86"..

86 seems like it would be a good temporary number for a locomotive they were getting ready to scrap. :wink:
