I hate to be the odd man out but I vote for #2. Cheap to paint with all red and just that yellow stripe for the added color. Red was always the primary RI color and a railroad that was scraping by on the skin of its teeth would have the cheapest and simplest color scheme possible. All the others are nice but the Rock would have been too poor for such complicated paint schemes.
