The Back Story:

Black Loco

The 1800's a period of colorful painted locomotives were about engineer pride, back when many engines were not numbered but named. As engines got bigger and harder to clean, black was the only color that could disguise all the wretchedness that covers a steamer. Most steam locomotives in the late 19th, early 20th century were painted black because black was cheap, it matches the color of cinders & hot ashes, black goes great with grey smoke boxes, plus black steam locomotives didn't have to be cleaned so often because of color match with cinders & ashes.
