I would say letters A through Q which is the right side of the train as it heads up the mountain. And the the numbers 3 and 4 in each of those letters are the ones facing “forward” as you go up. So you see the scenery coming at you. Be aware if there’s only 2 in your party, there may be other people sitting across from you facing you. Also be aware when you get to Franconia, they will have you switch sides of the train so you get a different view going back.
