Where’s the cowcatcher in the angle from the rear?

This is a really interesting idea. I like the juxtaposition of the fact a train goes only on a set track through known lands, and a cartographer discovers new lands that wouldn't have trains yet, so in my mind, the train would deliver the mapmaker to the edge of the known world to continue making maps of the unknown land so it can be made known.
