Appreciate the help thus far.
I found HO scale decals similar to what I believe is the lettering/paint scheme I'm looking for:
HO Decals
And applied to a model:
However some of the lettering used it is a little modern for my era. Although the red stripe and large "Rio Grande Motor Way" is pretty close to what I'm thinking.
I found a pic online that shows two trailers at Salida in the exact scheme I'm looking for...however the trailers are way in the background and difficult to see. But I can clearly see that the lettering is "Rio Grande Motorway". So I'm probably going with this. And likely all red lettering without any shadow effects.
The awesome original photo can be seen here:
