Here is a link to a picture of a Delaware and Hudson RS-3. I have never seen this paint scheme before. Can anyone tell me about it?

Can't tell what railroad it was, though it is pretty certainly a quick touch up to get the D&H logo on it. Bet it was unique on the system though.
Looks like an old P&W engine to me.
Yes that is one of the engines the D&H leased to the P&W. They returned to the D&H when the lease was up, still in P&W paint.
On 2 Feb 1973, 6 RS3s included #4071 were leased to the Providence and Worcester. The Colonie Shops repainted them for P&W prior to sending them on. Several units were returned around 1974. Most were scrapped in P&W paint, but 4071 was repainted into Lighting Stripes.

Consider some of the hand-me-downs that D&H received on April 1, 1976.
