Diesels are traditionally bi directional. AS you know in Europe, most diesels have a cab at each end. In the USA, diesels typically run in MU or multiple unit. This means there is usually a cab facing forward and another facing backward. This means that on a railroad with a large pool of power, it can usually find a loco facing the right way. <br /> <br />However, there are always exceptions. Balloon tracks are popular at the end points of a railroad. I have seen wyes and turntables at many rail yards. The industry trend is to place "Safety Cab" locos on the front of each train since they posess the latest technology and crew comforts. Sometimes that necessitates the turning of one loco to get it facing the right way. <br /> <br />There are still a number of steam era turntables in use, you just have to look harder.
