That's what the historians told them to paint it. The NPS does nothing without thorough documentation and input from professional historians, and I guess someone said that Central Pacific pump cars were red and blue...

Still seems like a rather odd color combination, even for that period. But if that is what they were painted, then so be it I reckon.

Well, it's like red locomotives - very few were actually completely red during that period. If you're familiar with the Leviathan, it's supposed to be blue just like the Jupiter
