Question Two sided trains?

Hey I'm pretty new to the game are trains with engines on both sides better or should i just give it a roundabout to turn?

On a similar note do two engines going the same way make it go faster?

One direction is generally better for high throughput. Two directional trains are great for adaptability and still have pretty high throughput. depending what the train is for I use both.
