Technicaly the engine number is supposed to be the number board that is lit up. In rare surcomstances this might not be the lead unit. Crews don't follow this rule to the book anymore because it is not usualy as critical as it once was. <br /> <br />It could be a variety of reasons like the lead unit of your train was picked up after leaving the terminal. Or that it was a helper unit. Or it could have been a work extra with the 8563.
