[0.10.8] Trains cannot path to a station "behind" them

In order to stop at this station, the entire train must pass by the station tower, so that the head of the leftmost engine parks directly south of it. This can trivially be done under manual control, but the automated train pathfinding is completely incapable of this.

The station is on the wrong side of the track for the locomotive in the back, it always has to be on the right-hand side of the track.

So the "drive" locomotive MUST be the locomotive to park at the station? I can't imagine that's desired.

It would make less sense to have the train on the back as the one that lines up with the station, and any position of that train that you want to achieve can be achieved using the current system. Therefore, it's not a bug.
