Turn left in 100 yards

Turn left in 100 yards
In the days when engines were in their rightful place at the front of the train, instead of underneath. Large logo 47422 ambles through a foggy Guide Bridge and is just about to turn left onto the Stalybridge line, with a Liverpool Lime St to Newcastle service. Tue4Dec90. Scanned

Now this could also be at the rear of the train - with a DVT at the other end! My Dad, who was essentially a GWR steam man, seemed flummoxed when having to caption a photo of an early DVT. Mind you the GW had push & pull trains, so I don't know what the different was with DVTs.
It amazes me how often one sees locos at both ends - not down here where the engines are all underneath - but in 'Rail' and other magazines.

Time was when the only time you saw a loco at both ends of a train was when it was being pushed up a hill, or a shunt move....
