The process described by PATLUCAS is the standard practice in all European Countries, I believe. The original loco would not necessarily go to its next duty, but straight to the depot if off duty.
As for the Cisalpino services mentioned by ALBULA, let's say there are two kinds: 1. Cisalpino emu which of course are reversible; 2. Rake of coaches which are not fitted with "Multiple Unit" controls, and must be loco-hauled.
