Sharp Alco SW ... read the fine print
Author: valmont

Frisco 296 was originally Northeast Oklahoma Railroad which was purchased by the Frisco in 1964. Frisco never repainted the Alcos and they wore this scheme until retirement in 1971.

An Alco standard scheme, also used (with various colors) by Susquehanna; Algers, Winslow & Western; and Detroit & Mackinac, among others. I think GM&O might have had some in this scheme, too.
