I believe you refer to the "Winterization Hatch, the large box?

It was designed to pre-warm the intake air in colder climates. The C-P ones seem taller than many I’m used to seeing in other North America railroads.

No,I m mean the high part in the middle of the roof. That part the other F9b not have.

If you mean the funnel (cone) looking thing I believe it is part of the engine cooling water fill/vent. That seems to be a modification (experiment?) that only the C-P did on certain locomotives and not others.

Some C-P GMD F9Bs had fuel tank vents piped to the roof, too. Maybe that is what you see?

Just my guess as to what you might be asking about.

Thank You, Ed
