Is there a union for car seat turners. Conductors could do it but no, they get paid too much and you do not want to use them for work like this and then have them die out on the road. Car Knockers could do this, but then you would need to hire more car knockers. Car cleaners could do it but then the Car Knockers union would complain. In the end the train has certain cars that they want to run a certain direction forward, and because at some stations there are loops that the train could pass through on its way to the yard, and other stations like Chicago which trains must back in to and so would be correct anyway. That would also keep the cars in the correct order assuming that the train was not to be broken up in the yard anyway.AND IF A PASSENGER should mess with the seats the train crew will become highly upset afraid that the geese would leave them that way and someone else would have to fix it. It is not like the old days with the flip over seats. LION loved the flip over seats, when the train arrived at NYP, him would run down the isle flipping all of the seats to the consternation of father and the delight and amusement of the conductors.
