MKT RS-3M 142 Long Hood Wedge Shot
Title:  MKT RS-3M 142 Long Hood Wedge Shot
Description:  You can see that this locomotive has the Long Hood Side iark as the front with the F. I have heard that the reason why the long nose is considered the front side on many of these units is becasue most steam engines have>the cabs in the rear.
