EMD F9 Roof Features
Posted by cedarwoodron on Monday, March 26, 2018 1:38 PM

On some F9 models, I notice a raised square feature just after the standard roof fans-what is it and is there a detail part available these days?

That sounds a lot like a winterization hatch:

 

 

 

The real one is used to redirect warm radiator exhaust air back into the carbody, to keep it warm.  It can be "turned on or off".

I suspected it was that- thanks for the confirmation. (Sigh) and another EBAY order coming up!
