Locomotive direction for Amtrak long distance trains

[Kiran]

I know that some of Amtrak long distance trains have 2 P42s. Does anyone know if they face the same direction or are they consisted in opposite directions?

I have seen both, as long as the lead unit is facing forwards amtrak does not seem to care which way the trailing unit is facing.  I personally set my P42 pair to run back to back cause I like the look more than elephant style (both units facing forwards)

Same here I think on both coasts.
