I think it was to do with leading the locomotive into the curves but what about in reverse?Oddly enough, some British locomotives such as the LNER Class V2, 60800 "Green Arrow" has a what is called a pony truck, i.e., two wheels on the front.

Not too many locomotives go in reverse; BUT here in DC, the Virginia commuter train, the VRE, travels in reverse in one direction as there is no way to turn the train around.

No leading wheels.I think it was to do with leading the locomotive into the curves but what about in reverse?
