Right now the train gui is missing an important piece of information, the name of each train. If you have many trains, it's hard to tell based on it's minimap which train it is. You can sometimes kind of guess based on the stop it's at but that's not reliable either.
The ability to name trains is pretty much a requirement now to make the trains GUI more useful. The name given to the trains would obviously be displayed above the minimap for each train.
BTW. the train GUI is an awesome first step to better train management.

I second this. I would paint one pink and call it momtrain and it will carry thousands of explosives to the heart of the nests of those stinky natives.
Back on track: it would be a nice feature.

Re: [Enhancement] Allow naming trains and display in GUI
Can we have this in 0.17 along with proper schedule management GUI and assigning schedules to trains. Then when you change a schedule, all trains with that schedule would automatically update.
A schedule would contain all the stops and conditions for each stop.
