Hello all,
First of all, please forgive me the subject of this thread, I know it could revive bad memories for some of you. My intention is truly not morbid, I just need accurate informations for a model railroading project.
I plan to build a diorama of the ill-fated Sunset Limited as if the boat hadn't collided with the bridge. I have gathered good informations about the cars and engines (type and numbers), the area of the bridge itself but I'd need the direction of each locomotives that composed the multiple unit. The P40, no need to wonder, the cab is of course facing the direction of the train but what about the two F40PHR, the #262 and #312 ? I tried to deduce this information from the photos of the wreck but it would remain educated guess, I'd prefer a confirmed info.
Thanks in advance,
Antoine.
