- My son asked me a question the other day and I couldn't answer him
- so I thought I would tap the knowledge of all you experts. The
- question is why do trains utilize various engine types when pulling
- a string of cars and why do some point forwards and some backwards?
- I kind of would like to know myself. A 10 year old and 36 year old kid
- appreciates your response.
