Lift Ring Location

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Looking for the location of the lift rings on the SD70/75 locomotives. Can someone head me in that direction? I have several portotype photos but no overhead views that show the locations. Also in the October issue of MR on page 72 it lists that Utah Pacific GE lift rings were used for this customized AC4400. No where did I find in the article just where the lift rings were placed, only a couple of angled photos. Would appreciate this information also as this will likely be my next project, with some modifications.

Here is an address for at least one shot where the lift rings are discernable : http://www.somewherewest.com/SD75/8280GB.htm ; there are probably other ones on the same site.
