"Fallen Flag" meaning the railroad,not the lone engine.[:)]
And "I" don't think that paint scheme is correct.

I have a 1957 Official Guide. With the exception of UP, KCS (?) and some number of shortlines, I could simply scan in the table of contents and have a pretty good list of fallen flags.

That issue of the OG also lists airlines and ships, but RRs make up the bulk of it. It's about 2-3" thick .
