That's actually not a "Stealth" unit; "Stealth" is what followed this earlier CSX blue and gray scheme. The "Stealth" scheme eliminated the blue on the top of the nose and cab, the top of the roof, the side sills and the lower hood, and the walkways and steps, leaving only the front faces of the pilots, the trucks and the fuel tanks in blue, with virtually the entire locomotive other than that in that lovely lifeless gray.
A true "Stealth" sample can be seen here:

Oh, and I don't think this train isn't headed for the Lehigh Gorge, since by the time the southbound RPPY was in Allentown it already made its way down the Lehigh Gorge.

While not technically the stealth scheme, this unit is in one of the pre-YN1 schemes, all of which were drab, uninspired, and considered to have poor visibility.
This train did go to the Lehigh Gorge (I chased it), but I put the wrong symbol in the caption in a moment of directional dyslexia. It's corrected now.
