Unit Numbering System

Basic breakdown:

10 through 19999: Thruway Zone 1 maintenance
20 through 29999: Thruway Zone 2 maintenance
30 through 39999: Thruway Zone 3 maintenance
40 through 49999: Thruway Zone 4 maintenance

500-## through 599-##: Contract tows

720 through 7299: NYSP Troop T Zone 2
730 through 7399: NYSP Troop T Zone 3

820-82999: Thruway Zone 2 maintenance
830-83999: Thruway Zone 3 maintenance

NC0001-NC9999:  New York State Canal Corporation administration (unknown if still in use, unclear how the "NC" prefix works)?
