[quote user="silicon212"]Definitely an SD60M. One of the immediately recognizable spotting features is the top of the long hood over the prime mover - it sits a little lower on the 70 than on the 60, so there's a "step-up" from the prime mover section to the radiator section. Another immediate tell-tale are the trucks - the SD60M uses HTC trucks, while the SD70 uses HTCR radial trucks (the sideframes of which have a flatter appearance).[/quote] Another way to tell would be Conrail never had any SD70M's (only 15 SD70MACs, which wore the white smiley paint scheme similar to the SD80MACs). So if you spot a widecab EMD in CR paint, if it's not an SD60M, the only other thing it could be is an SD60I, ditinguishable from the 60M by the rubber gasket down the side of the nose.
