Now routing bil to Tolerantville! The beauty of the stickers is you could set that up easily! 
Just kidding bil. 
Actually I winced a little back in the 70's when I saw articles about objects being placed on rolling stock for operations but then I think if you're really into ops but hate paper work this may be a good way to go. I liked the idea that you could set up several destinations simply by overlapping stickers and then removing them one at a time as the car did its work. Kinda clever and only temporary so you can completely remove them for photographs and non-ops running. I imagine that once you let yourself get into the scheme it might be easy to accept the look of stickers on roofs for a while. I've read posts from some railroad employees who are also model railroaders who report that they don't wish to bring the paper headaches of the real world into their hobby. Others like to model it as close to proto practice as possible. To each their own, as always.
