KCS #2904 GP40-2W radiators

KCS #2904, what looks like a former CN safety-cab GP40-2W, has both chicken wire and grilled radiators, a combination I've never seen before on an EMD.

KCS 2904 is a GP40-2LW and was formerly CN 9563.  I suspect the different radiator grills is simply the result of what spare parts were available back in the shop when repairs were required.
