A second freedom train, the American Freedom Train, toured the country in 1975–1976 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. This 26-car train was powered by three newly restored steam locomotives. The first to pull the train was former Reading Company 4-8-4 #2101. The second was former Southern Pacific 4449, a large 4-8-4 steam locomotive that is still operating in special excursion service today. The third was former Texas & Pacific 2-10-4 #610, which pulled the train in Texas.

Ummm.... with a bit more surfing...
The Wiki quote has 3 locomotives, numbered 4449, 2101and 610
Here is a pic showing #4449 with the red/orange paint job.
My pic of the "red/white/blue" train also has numbers "444?" showing.
