Does anyone have photos of the Alco factory paint scheme for the RSD4 or RSD5?
Here's a B&W photo. It looks like it could just be unlettered Santa Fe.

Might be a combined Alco-GE logo on the cab side. Looks like the Alco script over GE round logos. Demonstrating?

A premonition? "Down-doobee-do-down-down, breaking up is hard to do". But there's your factory paint.
What's with all that steam?

Judging by the Milwaukee Erie-built in the photo and that the road rostered six of the Alco RSD5 model, they might have bought this one and hadn't painted it yet.
Demo 1606 was bought by the Santa Fe.
