[quote user="CShaveRR"][quote user="BaltACD"] The locomotive engineer operating the FP7’s on the left side. CNW with their English style running I believe had the engineer on the left side of the cab.[/quote] Most assuredly not the case--as a fireman or brakeman on various runs, it was I who was responsible for snagging the train orders from my cab window and taking them to the engineer for reading and study. Please don't take this personally, but I've heard 'way too much about the CNW's left-handed running being "English" in origin. The official explanation is not like that, and the plausible explanation (which now happens to coincide with the official one) refutes it.[/quote] Wasn't it because when they build the depots on the original single track line, they built them all on one side and then when they double tracked, they didn't feel like moving or demolishing the depots so they just laid another track and added a platform? I don't remember exactly why they didn't just use the depot for the other direction...
