20 received the sunrise in about 1942 same stencil as the other locomotives, geese, and cabeese. After her 1943 wreck it was reapplied but without the stencil as before, resulting in her unique "skinny sunrise". The Rock Mountain Railroad club painted her again in 1947 and traced over this same lettering.(more likely when they painted it they could still see the lettering and just carefully reapplied) This second Ebay photo is in 1947 after the Rocky Club paint job. She wore this till the movie shoot, then had the modified movie and black paint keeping the clipper ship.
