Yup. Cotton Belt's single FP7 came in the "Daylight" paint scheme, as did their GP7 (try finding a color photo of the Geep). The F unit had been repainted scarlet and gray while it was still working Cotton Belt's passenger trains, a year or two before it was transfered to SP's Pacific Lines, where it ran as "Cotton Belt 306" for a short time before being relettered and renumbered "Southern Pacific 6462."
