Why did NS change the new scheme from the whiteface to the unibrow? Even units that recieved the whiteface were repainted.
Here is an example. NS 9804
Before- with the whiteface

After- with the unibrow

What I heard, was that they (The white face units) were being called a word that was in some circles a racial term…so, I do not want to say it here. Maybe someone else can think of a way to. Actually, I think the Whiteface looked better. And much to my surprise, on Sunday while out railfanning, I got 2 trains in a row that had Whiteface leaders.
I very much like the whiteface scheme better than the unibrow.
