The 9 LIRR RS-1s were built and delivered in two orders , both initiated when the PRR was in control . The first group 461 to 465 came to the LIRR looking as a PRR loco would with Gold lettering. Before the second group 466 tp 469 was delivered, the PRR placed the LIRR in bankruptcy. The trustees allowed ALCO to continue with the RS-1 order but this group including 467 was delivered in the TICHY color scheme. The First group was soon repainted into the TICHY colors by the LIRR. Units 461 to 469 during their careers on the LIRR wore five color schemes, as delivered in the PRR colors as first repainted into the TICHY colors, the Goodfellow Grey and Orange, The Worlds Fair Grey and orange sweep scheme and finally the MTA blue and yellow.
