I am contemplating a point to point logging layout and am stuck on a question:
Did actual railroads run their locos backward coming down the mountain?
I am guessing at many railroads there was no room to turn the loco around, so the answer seems obvious. But I was hoping someone could provide insight as to these operations. I am not sure what to do when it gets to the end of the line and has to come back...
I suppose other alternatives are turntables or to add a small wye.
Thanks,
Scott
