On the CB&Q F-units were used almost entirely in freight service and were
almost all painted a colour which I believe was called "imitation aluminum"
which is the white-ish colour that you refered to. I believe that there was
one set of F-units which were silver and were used on the California Zephyr.
Otherwise it was the E-units that provided the power for passenger trains.
