Cool. That’s kind of unusual that they would prefer to run it backwards though.

Here is one of my favs. Built in 1927 and converted to oil in 1936. They don’t baby this hunk of iron down the tracks!

They run it backwards for one way, then the engine swaps ends and they run it forward for the opposite/return trip.
