Yes, they had 5. Since they partnered with the Union Pacific on some passenger routes, they were required to paint their passenger equipment to match UP's. After the passenger business dropped off, these were repainted to the standard Milwaukee Road orange and black for freight service.

The Southern Pacific and Rock Island had a similar arrangement with a Chicago - Los Angeles passenger train, called The Golden State, when it was streamlined, but they decided on a specific paint scheme for the train that was red and silver.
