You also have to keep in mind that R46s/R68s are 75-footers. Ten 60-footers are equivalent to eight 75-footers. Going to do some quick math via Wikipedia (which admittedly makes this an estimation):

(748 R46s + 425 R68s + 200 R68As) * 10 / 8 = 1717 cars. Not to mention the SIR is replacing its R44s with them as well.

Very true, I totally overlooked that. It seems like the R211 with all options is 1,567 according to Wikipedia, feels like they should tack on an extra ~250 cars to finish out the rest of the fleet
