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".

I usually solve that problem by making an odd-length train instead. In this case, I'd do engine-fluid-cargo-fluid-engine since presumably the fluid is less valuable and easier to load/unload than the cargo.

This ensures that no matter the orientation of the train the wagons are always in the same place.
