Hi,

This point (some locomotives were left handed instead of right handed) I'd heard but never really put together properly.

Nothing keeps a locomotive from having an engineer on the right hand side except convention.

Thanks - enlightenment!

Dah Dah Dah DaaaaaHHHHH!!!!

Also used in an ad for margarine. "Its not nice to fool Mother Nature" - cut away to a raccoon.
