Union Pacific, Southern, Burlington Northern, Milwaukee Road, Southern Pacific, Soo Line, Rio Grande, etc.
Please.., I am well aware that indeed most railroads ran their locomotives short hood forward. Plus some railroads had dual control stands so the locomotive could be operated comfortably in either direction.
However, I was merely responding to the comment "I think that most of the engines running with the long hood forward are in Lionel catalogs" by mentioning roads where the long hood was designated as "front" and operated the units as such.
