In this regard, yeah... Other angles would lead to asymmetrical traction and potential breaking of the rod due to the forces involved.
What if it's not meant to be the coal storage, while the thing we're implying to be "the engine" at the front were, in fact, the chest/trunk? I mean, if we look at the old VW Beetle cars, the trunk is at the front, the engine is at the rear, and the engine is fairly small. It's so small and simple it's even possible to reuse a beetle's engine to build things... Perhaps even a rear-traction locomotive!
