Posted this in another area and now think I might have been in the wrong place... <br /> <br />I have looked at trains over and over again for some sign as to why certain engines point forward and others backwards... A truly curious person, I am. <br /> <br />What I want to know is are these conscious decisions, how the locomotives are in the yard when they are assembling trains, are some sign of the direction the engine needs to travel when broken away from the train? <br /> <br />Also, how are trains turned today without turn tables? Is there a manuever or certain type of train set-up? <br /> <br />Shawn
