Comments on: On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the first locomotive ever to lead in Ontario with the new CPKC Livery number KCS 4805 the second unit to have been repainted with such paint scheme, leads a CPKC 113 as they head through SSS Palgrave on their way Northwards up the Mactier Sub after spending a while at VIT due to DPU issues. Note the KCS sublettering due to the CPKC roadname not being approved yet. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I know at CN we had to use the sublettering to identify ourselves, especially to the RTC or Rule 42 foreman. For instance there is a IC 9626 (GP38-2) and a CN 9626 (GP40-2LW ). Even though both are CN units, the crew operating IC 9626 would have to call themselves IC 9626 and not CN 9626 Is the sublettering because they are waiting for approval or to distinguish the unit as KCS 4805 vs CP 4805.
