[bug]:head on trains stuck or pass through each other

[Dozer]

first this happened:

trains stopped at a signal head on. they would not reverse, nor could they find the way to the depot.

one thing worked: assigning one train to another line. i thought maybe it reverses then. it did, but also this happened:

 

the trains passed right through each other. … i was not sure if i was happy about this or not.

 

This here actually documents a multituded of bugs or design flaws:

• trains can only be sent to a depot, if they can go there by going forward. if they would need to reverse to get there, they are lost.
• trains can get stuck head on at a signal. and without a lucky workaround (which actually may only be possible due to yet ANOTHER bug)  they may be stuck there until the player quits and loads the last savegame.
• when a train is assigned to a line, while it is out on the tracks, all kind of weired shit may happen. i am pretty sure of that. the passing through bug seems to be a result of the train assignment and not of the getting stuck head on bug.
