This is probably what you are remembering. It was still in the Oahu Railway scheme when I arrived there in 1973:
We repainted the #19 in Scenic Railways colors in Spring of 1974, stripped her down to bare metal:
The intent was to have her looking good in time for the regular operating season which began in mid-June as she would be handling passenger service in through July. unfortunately we did not get the job done in time and she went into service solid red:
When steam took over in August the paint job was finished:
She was used on several charters and special operations in Fall of 1974 and also in 1975, so Russo's picture could have been made either year. I took this picture in September of 1974, but don't know what the occasion was:
