The other question about GP9s I have isn't about lighting. When my train starts up, the small end is in front. I saw a post on another thread where the guy was adamant that the long end in front is the way it was run on railroads. For freight service I think the small end should be in front, that way the noise and smoke is behind the engineers. But for passenger service, perhaps the big end should be in front to allow the noise and smoke to dissipate as much as possible before it gets to the passengers. This is said with my very limited experience riding on actual trains. Other than subways in NYC and London, I've only ridden a train once, from Krakow to Warsaw, and I believe it was electric.
I think that most of the engines running with the long hood forward are in Lionel catalogs.
