I believe, 40 stands for a 40 hour engine co.

Like Gilbert E2540 at 253's & Chandler E2840 at 288's,  they run during peaks hours,  usually from Mon to Thur 7am to 5pm

Gilbert's adding a 2nd 40 hour engine co on the 1st at 255's to help fill the gaps untill Station 259 opens in 2015

That makes sense. I've heard E2840 but never paid much attention. I'll swing by Station 131 one of these days and see where they squeeze the second engine in...Thanks!
