New Norfolk Southern Paint scheme (non-CP related)

The 4000 is back out of the paint shop along with the 4001.  Only thing changed is the NS horsehead logo on the side is not black instead of the matching blue.  People are calling them the "Sonic Bonnets"

Looks like the logo on the end of the long hood has been changed to white and black, too.

Yeah, they changed the "cat whiskers" on the front also. They used to be the same yellow as the numbers.  The ones on the back used to be blue.  Now all is white/black.

Blue hen reminiscence or no, imho that's a truly atrocious scheme. I'd take a normal black fathead scheme over that any day. But just like the PRR heritage unit, they didn't ask me, so just my opinion.
