So we have two stations, "LeftStation" and "RightStation". I now configure the _first_ locomotive (the one facing north on the picture) as follows:

I enable the train on automatic mode and view the train from the "LeftStation". When the train goes to "LeftStation", everything looks good:

However when the train goes to the right station, looking from any of the two stations, you can see that the train arrow is in the wrong direction:

The indication is the indication of the currently selected locomotive, the one you clicked to open, so this is not a bug, as it is not related to your driving direction in any way.
