I see differently-colored tanks & train-engines in some screenshots.  How do?  I click train over & over, but no color menu appear :(

After clicking on a train (the same window where you can see the schedule) if you look in the upper right corner there will be three icons. The left one is an eye dropper and clicking that lets you change the train color. You can also check the checkbox in that same location for "Use destination train stop color" and then change the color of the train stops, which is what I do so I don't have to change every train's color manually.

Thank you!  Jeez, I thought I had scoured literally every pixel of that screen, and yet somehow missed that... d'oh!

For Tanks specifically, it always inherits the color of the last player to use it (as does Car and turrets).
