why do european railroad locomotives have operating cabs in BOTH ends but american ones do not? even the emd, alco, baldwin types built for european systems had cabs in both ends. was this not done in american because of the extra expense, or because multiple unit operation in europe is a rarity, trains are generally much shorter in length and lighter in tonnage and the freight cars are much shorter? also, i still see occasions where units are operated rear end leading --the front engine--on the main line away from yards. it's seldom, tho. theo sommerkamp
