Lionel 5690 Locomotive

Kevin is a model railroading beginner and has a question for readers:

“I am really new to this train hobby and this may sound silly but – Does anyone know if there is any significance to the number 5690 found in the keystone decal on the front of some Lionel locomotives. I have noticed it on quite a few. Thanks, Kevin”
