NP 2626 Timken at Portland 1933

I bought a photo of the Timken (NP 2626)recently that has something I can't figure out. This is a shot taken while she was on display at Portland, Oregon, shortly after the NP acquired her in 1933.

The 3rd car back has me stumped! Any idea what railroad, and if so what colors was it?

Note the stairs up to the cab. Also, the Hoyt Hotel sign. This is where the railroaders stayed, at least in the 50's and 60's, when on the road.
