I first thought of a rust colour then I did a search on google for "iron oar load on trains" and these are a selection of the pictures that came up.  So it seems you have a choice, but I would personally go for a rusty/ brown, umber colour as I think this is what most people would think of when seeing an iron ore load.
There you are, my head is now well above the parapet 

Cheers John, I'll go with that, get your head back down again. Cheers john.
