It depends on the loco. Most roads started to favour short-nose forward in the 60's and many updated their older loco's to run that way when they got rebuilt or overhauled. <br /> <br />The only somewhat firm rule is that low-nosed loco's are usuall short-hood first. <br /> <br />CN for one never updated all their loco's IIRC they still have some GP9's that are set up for long-hood first operation, even though they have chopped noses (the 70xx series)
