Due to the fact that the engine will un-couple in Marne from the east end of the train, pass by, and couple back up to the west side of the train to pull us back to Coopersville, seats facing east will be facing forward on our way to Marne, and on the way back, they will be facing backward. So no matter which side you choose, half of your trip will be forward, and half will be backward.
