Whats wrong with this video?

[NW Modeling List]

Leslie:
 
I think it depended on the operational scenario.  I grew up in  Bluefield, 
VA, and the pushers up into Bluefield, WV were always ahead of the  caboose. 
 I *think* - those more familiar than I with the specifics please  chime in 
- that when trains were filled out (trimmed?) at Farm, and the helpers  
added, they configured them at that time.  I've read detailed descriptions  
that may have had more specifics, but not for a while.
 
Anyway, pushing eastbound into Bluefield, always ahead of the cab.

I have several N&W videos...in ALL of them, the pusher  is pushing on the 
Cab! I have never seen a cab at the end of the train with  pushers...it would 
waste a LOT of time when it was time to cut  off!

That's the way I looked at it.  I read an article on it a few  years ago. I 
can't remember which one.  Joe Grzelak

Nigel,
    I guess you have never seen  pushers lift a cab off the rails! In this 
case, with two pushers, believe me  it would be a lot safer to put the cab 
behind the engines.
