Yes, trains could travel backward in 1869, as most locomotives were designed with the capability to reverse direction. This was typically accomplished using a reversing mechanism in the locomotive's controls. However, the operation of trains in reverse was often limited and required careful handling, especially when it came to signaling and track management. Overall, while trains could go backward, it was not as common as forward travel.
