MOST "ALL AMERICAN" locomotives were built following a Right Leads Left (RLL) quartering practice. Going forward the right crank pin leads the left crank pin.
(Any locomotive whose left crank pin leads while going forward could only find acceptance and happiness with others of its kind if it relocated to a northeastern US "STANDARD" railroad area or all the way to Britain where left leading was the norm.)
