Yes Peter is right. [:)] It was normal during the early days for diesel engines to run long hood forward. As time passed they changed ends. I remember reading a story about the L & N getting some Alcos and they were actually short hood forward but noone realized this and had them turned long hood forward. The switch crew that day needed an extra person to tell the engineer what to do as he couldn't see the hand signals. The Alco RS 1, 2, and 3s were some of the best looking locos ever made in my opinion. They were simply "Classic". There were 2 RS3 s for sale recently and both sold fairly quick. Just goes to show that a 50 year old unit can STILL do the job it was intended to do. Let's see someone ba***HAT. Show me a 50 year old "__" unit still going, and I don't mean EMD either.
