You might want to look at Testor's railroad paints. I'd say Southern-Pacific Daylight Orange or Southern-Pacific Daylight Red look very close. http://www.testors.com/category/137236?n=1
Some train stores have other brands that could look more like it. Are you painting with enamels or acrylics?

On my monitor that looks like a rusty color. Try adding white, yellow, and/or red to a basic rust color.

One of the things they teach you early in art class is red isn't always red and yellow isn't always yellow. Tamiya red is very blue based so mixing in Tamiya yellow (which has a touch of green) makes for an ugly orange. What you'll need to find are bright warm reds and yellows, what those are is up to you as I don't have a spot color reference for hobby paints.

PolyScale has a line of railroad paints, and maratime paints.

Vallejo has a whole lot of colors, too.

maybe interntl orange.

[TER-OR]

Yeah, I've done a bunch of trainers and drones - orange isn't easy. Sometimes an undercoat of red helps, then apply the orange over top. Other times a yellow undercoat works better. Often the orange I find is gloss, and doesn't cover well, so a flat red or yellow is a good base coat. I should have thought about that earlier.

Have you looked at Vallejo paint? They have a few shades of orange that may be what you are looking for:

thanks Mike, for the paint chart link.

Honestly, that looks to me like two paints in one. A yellow base coat and a light (or transparent) orange or red on top. I say that because I've come up with similar fades myself experimenting with the bussard collectors to make them appear to glow.
