There has been discussions in the past about the colour of trucks. This piece, from 1887, may cast some light on the issue -

It has been the custom for all time to paint the trucks black. This necessitated the changing of pots and brushes when the painting of the body was finished and work commenced on the trucks. The Burlington is commencing now to paint the trucks the same color as the body of the car. This appears to be a small matter, but in the course of a year the time saved in changing, and the cost of extra pots, brushes, etc. dispensed with, amounts to a very considerable little sum.
