Sorry, can't help you...But, boy...Those guys sure did know how to put a passenger consist together back then..!!!
The apparently simple color scheme (mostly light) and the square "road herald", just above the anticlimber on the nose of the lead unit, have me thinking CB&Q. Exactly where? I can't say for sure.
I think it is Sherman Hill. If you look closely at the lead unit, what appears to be a third light just above the anticlimber is actually a U.P. herald. Also there is just enough contrast on the top of the front short hood to suggest the antiglare paint UP used on their hood units.
Thanks for all the info, everyone! I will try using Google images to see if I can narrow it down from there. I did take the back off and there is no information there. I even tried a magnifying glass on the engines and still couldn't make out the name. What I could tell was the last two digits of the lead engine appear to be 94.

From All Time UP Diesel Roster, Index it appears that UP never had an F3A with a number ending in 94.
I spent quite a bit of time staring at aerial images of the rail line between Sherman hill and Dale junction last night. While there is 1 place that looks similar in track layout to the picture, the geology/terrain does not look like it matches. Who knows what has been regraded or weathered over the years though.
I've been working on this also and after more careful examination with magni-visor and magnifying glass and flashlight, it appears as though the engine number is 904. The print is rather washed out so it's hard to be certain. Thanks for all the help so far!
