Rupert and all-

 

I had heard that there was a similar engine used in the lumber district with left-hand drive due to the configuration of the sidings there.

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.
