Loco Question

Post Body
Enter your post below.
When a locomotive consist is being made up in the yard the hostlers will grab enough locomotives for the required horse power. As long as the first locomitive is facing the right direction it doesn't matter which way the other units are facing. They all could be facing front or rear or a combination of both. <br /> <br />Also some railroads have locomotives set up so that the long hood is the front of the locomotive, so it looks like it is going backwards, but this is rare wih wide cabs. You can determine which end is the front of a locomitive because there is a capital F painted on the frame.
