That's on the Kyle Railroad at Belleville, KS.  Valmont shot the same scene three days earlier:

Six wheel trucks with unevenly spaced axles makes it an RSD-4.  More valmont photos of Utah RSD-4's that he edited himself are here:

I believe photo #1 is at Bellville, Kansas on the Kyle at the ex Rock Island  "engine facility".

#2 is Wishram WA, #'s 4&5 Vancouver WA.

#6 is at Provo, UT

Evan, do unevenly spaced (to allow for three traction motors) axles also identify an RSD-5 as an RSD-4?

Four is equal to five for large values of four.
