Just like you can paint locomotives, it would be nice to color wagons as well. Useful if your train transports different stuff in each wagon.

Imagine if the color of the wagon automatically changes based on what's inside?

They already get icons automatically based on what's inside, if you have detailed info on. But that doesn't help with seeing the intended purpose of an empty train.

I'm kind of puzzled that you suggested this, if automatic coloring based on the current contents would be sufficient for your use case.
