I want to say that I have read somewhere or I may have heard it form my Grandfather who worked troop trains on the Frisco during WWII...but as I recall the trains were rolled into military service in WWI to transfer men and material. Many of the railroads never got around to painting them anything else during the 20's and 30's and then WWII hit and it started all over again.
Like I said...I wish that I could quote a source for sure. I could be way off but I want to say that is the reason.
