Hey Guys,

What determines which side the glad hand goes on the front of a locomotive? Normally the glad hand is always to the right of the coupler, but this isn't always the case on the front of locomotives. Perhaps some pilots move the coupler so far forward the hose won't reach going under the coupler. That's the only reason I can come up with.

Thanks,

Bill White
