Rio Grande Motorway semi trailers

I posted an earlier thread about Rio Grande Motorway trucks and got super helpful information. Here is a link to that previous thread:

Narrow Gauge Discussion Trucks

With help from that thread I decided on how to paint the box truck and stake bed, as well as the cab/tractor for the semi.

However I'm having a little difficulty finding pics of motorway semi trailers. I'm working on decals now and would like a prototype to ensure I do them right.

Here are the trucks in primer:


I'd like to do something similar to this, however I'm not sure if "Motorway" is common or if "Motor Way" is more common.

I kind of remember seeing in a book a motorway trailer in color (aluminum with simple red "Rio Grande Motorway" lettering and a red stripe) Maybe at Salida? Of course all my Rio Grande books are at my place in Colorado while I'm in California until May...so I can't easily reference all those great books.

The era for the semi trailer I'm painting is mid 50s.

Anyone have a color pic of a Rio Grande Motorway semi trailer with "Rio Grande Motorway" lettering and a red stripe?
