[QUOTE]Originally posted by Geoff M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Southwest Chief: [qb]What bugs me is why is the power not coupled to the head of the train and on the other track? And if this power used the "escape" tracks, why would the tail of the train be facing us? Should be the front of the train and be a baggage car and then it would be behind the escape switch not past it. And if the train is getting ready for departure (which makes sense with the sleeper on the rear facing us) why would they spot the power all the way to the rear on the adjacent track? So there's something not right with the photo's caption.[/qb][/QUOTE]One theory is that the "power" consisted of two engines, back to back (and we only see the one formerly squashed between baggage and lead engine), and the train was backed into the station. Then, for whatever reason, the power was taken off the front and parked in the next platform. Geoff M. [/QB][/QUOTE]
