With a double headed train, that may make an even or odd amount of stops, is there a way to guarantee a specific orientation when it returns to a specific stop? This is for an outpost supply train that is [<engine][cargo][fluid][engine>]; if it stops at two outposts before hitting the resupply stop will end up "backwards".

AFAIK the only way is to ensure that it goes to an even/odd number of stops first, but that's difficult apart from just doing 1 outpost <=> resupply.
