I wasn't aware of the rules here... whether the Photo/Video graphy is prohibited or not.. So Just kept the cellphone in low angle and shot the video..

All outbound are Forward moving and all inbound are reverse moving... There is no loco reversal at the terminal station. The rear coach actually has all the controls needed, including the lights etc.. but the LP would still be in the loco in the rear side..
