This doesn't affect gameplay in any way, shape or form, but I do want to point out that the train seemingly starts drifting when going backwards. It looks normal when right-side up, but upon returning to its respective train hub the visuals look a whole lot different than it normally is.

Train spinning on its roof when returning on the rail twister
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: Dimension Update [0.1.0] • Game: 0.1.0-pre2- • Resolution: Done

When a Train returns on the Rail Twister in the Supporter Edition, it spins on its roof instead of staying upright on the tracks. This occurs when the Train travels back below the Rails on the Rail Twister. To reproduce, players need the Supporter Edition active, must start any game with cheats enabled, and place a Train route that goes through a Rail Twister. The Train should remain upright on the tracks throughout the twister section, but instead flips over when returning. This visual issue...

Train wagons are misaligned when returning on a Rail Twister segment in gameplay.
To Do • Priority: High • Fix: 1.1 Release [1.1.0]

Train wagons become misaligned with the rail when returning through a Rail Twister segment back toward the Locomotive Depot. To reproduce, place a Locomotive Depot with five or more wagons connected to three or more Rail Twisters in Classic Mode with Supporter Edition enabled. As the train returns to the depot, the wagons visibly drift out of alignment with the rail. The expected behavior is that wagons remain properly aligned with the rail throughout the Rail Twister segment in both directions.

Trains spinning when returning to base
Done • Priority: High • Fix: Dimension Update Patch 1 [0.1.1] • Resolution: Done

Trains keep spinning when returning to the Locomotive Depot after cutting a Train Launcher and rebuilding it over level 2. The issue occurs when creating a train with 3 wagons on level 1, raising a 3-tile rail section to level 2, attaching a ramp for minimal jump height, then cutting from the elevated rail to the ramp end, leaving two spaces, and filling those spaces with rails. The expected behavior is that trains should return normally to the depot without spinning continuously.

Deleting train launcher and one tracks attached to spawner will cause the train to keep spinning in place after jumping back
Done • Priority: High • Fix: Dimension Update Patch 1 [0.1.1] • Resolution: Done

Deleting a Train Launcher and one Rail attached to a Locomotive Depot causes the Train to keep spinning in place after jumping back. The Train will jump back on the return trip even without a Train Launcher to receive it. To reproduce, create a Rail with a jump, let the Train jump across, then delete the Train Launcher with part of its attached Rail while the Train is on the other side. The Train will return and spin in place indefinitely. This issue has been fixed in the train simulation sys...

Trains can spin on Train Deposit
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

Trains can get stuck spinning on the Locomotive Depot when rails are cut and reconnected. The issue occurs when a player places a Locomotive Depot with rails, cuts the rail in front of it causing the train to loop on the depot, then reconnects the rail. After reconnection, the train continues looping on the depot instead of proceeding onto the rail as expected. This prevents normal train movement and routing.

6. [SPZ2-2423] — 👀 30% similar

Deleting Train and track leaves Train spinning in space
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

Deleting a Train and Rail while the Locomotive is flipping causes the Train to spin in space and become unable to be deleted. The Train can be recovered by placing Rail back, which returns it to the track. This bug was triggered specifically when deleting the last Rail during the Locomotive flip animation. The issue has been fixed in the current version and could only be reproduced in older builds.
