Here's #8527 when it was in St. Louis. Manufacturer's Railroad Company was founded by Anheuser-Busch to facilitate moving beer shipments between different rail carriers. I do not know what the other gray engine is. Anyway, my older son lives in Soulard, an old residential community near the brewery and he sent me this picture several months ago. I typed "Rio Grande engine 8527" in Google and came across this discussion page.
