The Southern Pacific was created out of the Central Pacific. It's not quite that simple but in generalities that is what happened. The Central Pacific Railroad that was created to build a railroad from Sacramento to meet with the Union Pacific to form the first transcontinental railroad later became the Southern Pacific. Many engines and cars on the Southern Pacific were still lettered for the Central Pacific after the establishment of the SP. Having CP rolling stock and engines on the early SP would be quite appropriate.
