I certainly would not call these references absolutely true facts. But two totally different references would point that way.


George, these are both accurate sources. On cars that have brake wheels on both ends, look at the brake cylinder, it points to the B end. In all other cases where there is only one brake wheel, that is the B end, because that is where the brake cylinder points.
