It is a nice painting Greg. The RI had a couple different 4-8-4 styles. The 5000 series (in the painting) were a bit different from the 5100 series. The 5100's have a stronger resemblence to the AT&SF 2900's. Among the 5100's, my information is 5100-5109 were built as oil burners and 5110-5119 burned coal. BTW, if you can get your hands on the February 1987 issue of Trains magazine there is a great article on the AT&SF 4-8-4's. Actually the entire issue is devoted to Santa Fe steam.
