Somewhere in Q lore, I read the pigment used for Q freight car mineral red paint \\was ground hematite quarried in Wyoming, and that the Havelock paint shop mixed the pigment into the base paint, measured by the handful.  The source was from a personal interview of a former paint shop worker who didn't specify how many handfuls per unit volume of paint. I can imagine that there must have been some color variation between paint lots with such an imprecise measure.
 
I attached a color photo of a chunk of hematite for reference.
