Any train experts? I am leaning towards HEADERS, but I'm not totally convinced. This is a description of job positions on a train building team.

headboard / front section


Explanation:
A guess really but I found this in Wiki after a dictionary defined headboard for cabacero. It could be archaic, unless this is some sort of decorative tourist / excursion train and not business / passenger.
I found cabecero in the glossary Patinba found and it also said headrest but if they're big, that doesn't make sense.
If it's regular use train, then I think patinba has it down pretty well, although I think you can cut out train if it's for a building team.

agree  neilmac: I reckon "front section" covers most angles (unlikely to be a headboard or headrest here IMO). Is that Valencia in the photo?
