MKT RS-3M 142 Long Hood Wedge Shot         
You can see that this locomotive has the Long Hood Side mark as the front with the F. I have heard that the reason why the long nose is considered the front side on many of these units is becasue most steam engines have the cabs in the rear.

Zach Pumphery General The control stand is on this side of the engine, so the engineer sits on the "fireman's" side (this side of the engine). 2/28/2010 10:18:09 AM
