The proper term is BASS ACKWARDS!!

Altho runnin a Covered Wagon that way would be a pain in the ass, specially if ya used the hostlers controls and had ta peek out the window in the door.

Cant say I ever seen a F/Covered Wagon B-unit leading
the way on anything more than making a setout. Uke
mentioned that the F7 B-units have controls inside for
the RH hostler to move it about the roundhouse tracks
without a "cab-unit" attached. That was something I never
knew before. I think the beginning of locomotives on each
end of a passenger train was early 70's when the Long Island
RR bought a bunch of ex-SPS Alco FA's and "removed their
brains" and made them do something else and remained
photogenic for a good time after that.

I got to spend some quality time in an F45 running bass ackwards for 40 miles down the mainline one summer day. The following winter I got to do the same thing with a leased Amcrash F40.

Before the advent of LINTCO, us redheads had an operational rule that whenever we had a LAMCO unit with a low short hood but the "F" thingy was on the wrong end that we would set them up to run short hood first. I had a loaded ore train one day set up like that. The suckiest part was that I couldn't see the alerter light next to the front of the control stand blink for 5 seconds before one of the most gawd-awful screeching sirens would wail. It was a long trip to the Polish Riviera.

Snippy personally saw to the elimination of that style of alerter. (Or, they have lied to Snippy.) N&W Red Bulb - the reason that *cy* is deaf.

Snippy is proud of that one accomplishment.

BD confesses that he can't run with the F in its proper position. Cy thinks BD is, wait, not here. BD knows that whatever Cy says, he says it with luv and respect.
