The first line of the train order states

"Stock Extra 484 East showing number 485".

Not real legit, but being as the C&TS perhaps cut one set of train orders a year back then, I'd give them a pass.

I seem to recall issuing orders for a movie train to "Work Extra 497 showing A&P 58".

In reality train orders don't care what the engine number really is. Everything is based on visible markings, so it should have been whatever number and marking were visible.

I wonder what the Sierra did for T.O.'s on movie jobs with the #3 which had literally 100's of numbers and RRs on it's sides.
