Hi Everyone:
In previous messages we have discussed exactly what the recessed cooling fan hatch looks like on the Conrail SD60 units. Well, while browsing the web tonight I finally found a photo that shows the top of NS (PRR) SD60 6710 (former CR 6855). Looks to me like this hatch matches the style used on the later SD60M, I and the SD70 series units. Take a look at the photo:

And just to clarify things, the Conrail SD50's had individually recessed cooling fans. See this link for a top shot of the fans on Conrail 6808:
