I have heard there were also left hand locos used in the Lumber District in Chicago for the same reason. Have not found any documentation of it.

From National Car Builder of May 1886 -

A switching locomotive has recently been built at the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy shops at Aurora, with the reverse lever on the left-hand side. The engine is intended for work at one end of the Aurora yards where there is a curve, and the object of placing the reverse lever on the left-hand side is to enable the engineer to take signals from that side, which is inside the curve.
