[RITSlist] Rock Island F unit detail question

Hey All
I'm currently looking at some shots of original Rock Island F units (not
the former 41XX series F9M's from UP) and I notice that in the space
where a dynamic fan would normally be (or a blank panel in the Rock
Island's case) there is what appears to be some piping and some sort of
radiator with shroud. I'm guessing an oil cooler?
Here is a link to a picture on Jeff Prince's site of what I'm talking
about:

Regardless of what it is, I'm trying to find more decent clear shots
(and maybe dimensions) so I can model it. I'm also open to suggestions
as to how to build this piece if anyone else has ever done so.
Also, I'm looking at shots of both 677 and 676 commuter F units and they
appear to have a different oil cooler (?) setup. I am trying to find a
high angle shot showing how the head end power exhausts and vents are
set up on the roof.
I'm also trying to find a conductor/fireman's side shot of 676 in
red/yellow.
Obviously, this is all for modeling purposes.
Thanks!
Kelley.
