I had the same problem on a 92 Lincoln Towncar. I replaced the headlight switch and all is working again. Replacing the headlight switch requires some patience. It is best to start by removing the positive battery cable end to avoid sparks. Pull out the light switch to the on position and rotate the knob until you see an indented place on the plastic. Insert a hooked object in here to push a tab down and remove the knob. The thin piece of molding that separates the upper dash (instrument cluster and vents) from the lower dash can be gently pried out and removed. This gives access to screws that will allow you some space to remove the nut from around the shaft of the switch. Remove the panel from below the steering wheel. A torx-head screwdriver or bit is needed or a small socket. You will need a light source to look under the dash but you should be able to see the switch. On the bottom of the headlight switch is a small metal button that keeps the rod the knob is attached to from coming out when you pull the light on. Depress this small button ( I used a dowel) while pulling the rod out to remove it. It took me a couple of tries. The fun part is getting the switch itself back far enough for the shaft to clear the dash and getting it down so that you can remove the wires. I suggest having the new switch in hand so that you have feel for how everything works. I couldn't get it to drop down at first because the small plug toward the front has a piece that fits in a hole under the dash(which I couldn't see). I applied an even pressure and was able to get it to pop loose. Some twisting and turning is needed to fit the old switch out but it can be done. Once out, I unplugged the wires ( a couple of screwdrivers is needed) and plugged in the new switch and got it back in with no major difficulty. Remember to save the nut that you took off the shaft to begin. It took me about 1.5-2 hours total. Good luck and don't pull too hard on the wires.

What is the front of the train?

Generally the locomotive is the front of a train. If the train has a rear helper unit it will display a red light, either in the headlight position or more commonly it will be a flashing red light in an end of train (EOT) device usually hanging from the coupler. The lead engine will also usually display two lower ditch lights facing forward. Trains usually display a headlight and ditch lights even in the daytime.

Is not having a front license plate in Ohio a moving violation?

It violates Ohio law to not display a license plate from the front of your vehicle. However, it is not considered a "moving violation". FYI: Due to a loophole in the Ohio Revised Code, you need only to display the plate from the front of the car, which does include just placing it on the dash board. --- The front of the car means the front of the car. The windshield is the middle of the car. You will pay for that ticket.
