The engineer was likely driving the train backwards due to operational requirements, such as repositioning the train for maintenance, switching tracks, or during a station stop where the train needed to face in the opposite direction for its next journey. In some cases, trains are designed to operate in reverse safely, allowing for greater flexibility in rail operations. Additionally, the engineer may have been following specific instructions or protocols for the situation at hand.
