I think my point was that these days I see what look like illuminated claterpillers with identical ends shuffling back and forth up the GN mainline and without any visible means of identifying the head. I do agree that the very few goods trains I see do have what appears to be a head at the front which I am led to believe might possibly be called a locomotive. Poor passengers must find it difficult to determine which direction their train will depart in with what appears to be a head at each end.
In a much lighter vein when I work out how to send some pictures while I was attending to much more important things Elizabeth (domestic manager or SWMBO) was taking photos outside on Weybourne station. The results are 'atmospheric' to say the least.

PS When riding on a Push-me-pull you which way does it go when you call out 'Gee Up'?
