Thank you very much for the replies, that is good information to absorb. <br /> <br />Robert, regarding the B&O GPs, in my years watching them (during the 1950s) they might face either way in switching, but at the head of a train going somewhere, they almost always went long way first. Of course all that changed when they lowered the short hoods and added wide windshield windows to later models. <br /> <br />Much of my trackside time was spent in Brunswick, MD, watching the activity around the roundhouse and engine servicing facility. A lot of great places to see trains in the Potomac valley. The old roundhouse fell into ruin, sadly.
