The Brit's are on the left side. Their double track runs opposite, too. Only a few US roads ran left hand; C&NW comes to mind, but their engineers were also on right side. On B&O we had rules about sitting on left side when trains were passing on double track. If both trains are running the limit, that's a combined 110 mph! Things happen FAST! I knew a guy whose upper torso was taken off by a crane boom which had swung around. (It tore the whole side of the cab off.) We are supposed to get up and stand over near the center of the cab or engineer's side. If the engine is running backwards, the hoghead needs to stay in his post and pay attention. That may have something to do with it.
