[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Morpar Seems there are some differences in the "white face" paint scheme. The link gsetter has posted above shows #9750 in the lead. The real difference is in the photos I have here. They are of #8909 taken 1-9-05, in Frankfort, Indiana on the west end of the yards. The white only comes to the top of the front windows, not all the way down to the nose like in the link above with #9750. So which is the more common (correct?) scheme? And even more importantly, is there another variation still? If this keeps up, I will end up doing all 3 of my C44-9W models in NS black, and none in my homeroad gray and orange! Thanks again. [/quote] Mopar, the photo is a C40-9CW not a C44-9CW. Sorry for the error. They look so much alike. The photo you have would be correct. I believe the white face is called their corporate scheme. Apparently there are a few variations of it like a white roof, white winter windows, ect.. NS also took delivery of a [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=89568"]C44-9CW[/url] still wearing gray primer and put it into service. The NS schemes come in all [url="http://nspics.railfan.net/rostr_ns/b23-7/4022/4022b.jpg"]black[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=92020"]black with white face[/url] (as you know, either [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=67610"]all white[/url], around the number boards and other variations), [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=66794"]Operation Life Saver[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=8942"]O.L.S. 25th aniversary[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=63116"]Conrail blue[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=77241"]Conrail Quality blue[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=44295"]Conrail blue w/O.L.S. logo[/url],[url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=44295"]Conrail Quality in blue w / O.L.S.logo[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=70759"]Southern green[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=91582"]primer gray[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=2091"]Conrail Quality M.O.W. gray[/url], [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=77672"]Maersk Seland[/url] and a slug done in [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=30067"]maroon with gold lettering[/url].

Called the [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=17092"]horse head logo[/url] by some, the new logo has a silhouette of horse head through the white stripes on the sides. Then there is the [url="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=76049"]"Unicorn"[/url] logo p.s. click on the highlited words to see sample paint schemes.
