Union Pacific's 'Los Angeles Limited' in Rainbow Canyon, Nevada, early 20th century
A differently colorized version of the same original in an earlier post. The red for the cars is sure to be wrong, and should be UP yellow -- see the video below.
Well you are partially right about Red being the wrong colour.
However the UP Harriman Standard from 1903 was Dark Olive Green. The Armour Yellow/Leaf Brown was first used on the M-10000 in 1934. The Armour Yellow/Harbor Mist Grey came about on the COSF COLA Streamliners in 1940.
