Take a look at these photos of A&M C420's number 56 and 57:

notice the "flared radiator" section at the rear of the longhood!
they look like C424 or C425 radiators..
All C420's, as built, have smooth sides back there, like this:

so anyone know the story of A&M 56 and 57?
they have clearly been rebuilt..
what was done to them? where and when?
These two started out as Lehigh & Hudson River 25 and 26, then went to BC Rail in Canada,
(BC 630 and 631), before coming to the A&M..
perhaps they went through some kind of MLW rebuild program?
M420's were built new with that flare, but not Schenectady-built C420's, (as far as I know.)
and these two are definatly not MLW-built.
I found photos of them on the L&HR without the flare, (as built)
then photos on BCrail *with* the flare:
