No Clovis,

The orange sported by the caboose in question is not related to "Grande Gold". It is that putrid orange that was used before the demise of the D&RGW on its rolling stock, box cars, covered hoppers and the like. They looked OK when they were new in Orange and Black, but when they got dirty, the lettering information was absolutely unreadable.
