Rupert-

Could it just be rivets or some bracket obscuring the bottom of the serifs on the 2, 4 and 1?   Due to the resolution of the scan it is difficult to tell if it was a maverick painter or an alternative stencil.

There’s a photo on eBay of pile driver 204619 at

J64 CB&Q Burlington Route OPERATING STEAM POWER Pile Driver 1969 Original Slide! | eBay

I’ve enlarged the cab to identify its number and found that rather unusual numerals have been used. Looking through my photos, I see that a wide range of letter and numbering styles were used for pile drivers but I can’t recollect seeing this style before.

And if you are looking at the photo on-line, any suggestions for the red object behind and to the left of the pile driver? It looks like a cab with a Burlington Route herald underneath but the windows appesar to be too wide.
