<p>Thanks, Mark. I think the two best answers that make the most sense are the visibility issues and the tracking issues, visibility being the most obvious. I am not so sure about whether steam locomotives track better with the tender in front or in the rear... but when folks talk about tank engines, or the mighty Garrett in South Africa, it makes sense that they, being unibody locomotives, would function equally well going either way.</p><p>Did the Garrett have visibility issues? Seems to me I recall that one end was taken up with a large coal bin....</p>
