when working on rail lines, it's quite common for a train to end up going the wrong way. it would be nice to be able to see trains that have ended up on a line which isn't their colour, or perhaps a way to easily respawn them without checking an entire train line to catch them. maybe trains which aren't on their line colour could have a conflict indicator, since that's already a thing in overview mode?
posting here instead of the suggestion board because it's not a fully fleshed out idea and could use workshopping instead of just "add [feature]. thanks"

So instead of say clearing the main train station, and then placing it down to reset the train, it could just be a button? Or a toggle?
Would it keep its cargo?

clearing cargo would probably be the best option imo
but it'd be nice if it showed up as the ⚠️ icon on the map instead of what it's carrying (as well as maybe having its respawn button glow? but that seems very weird to me)
because sometimes you don't even know that a train isn't where it's supposed to be, and it'll just stay there forever until you notice

The Dev's latest survey seemed to address situations like this. Perhaps we'll hear more word on it.

You can select the locomotive platform and click Respawn, although that won't help you figure out which train is the problem.
