Which way's forward?

On first glance, it looks a little odd. A loco sandwiched between two carriages making its way through our fantastic countryside from Llangollen to Carrog.
But when you find out it's actually being driven from the lead carriage - it's called an auto coach - with the loco providing the power in the middle and accompanied by the firemen - then it starts to make sense.
Then, once the train reaches its destination, the driver makes his way to the rear section [into the other auto coach] where he's able to take the controls again and, therefore, it's no longer the rear but the front of the train.
