EJE - unless your shortline owns its locos and leases them to other roads - no! A leased loco, running on your road woud be lettered for the leaser company it is hired from - for example Larrys Truck and Electric = LTEX, Helm leasing = HLCX . Your home road "bought-in" would have its own abreviation - NCPR for example, or NCCP - At least that is how I understand it from the RH side of the pond
