New Train Condition - by wagons

TL;DR
A modifier to the train wait conditions, to apply them to one, multiple, or all wagons.

What ?
e.g. Instead of saying 'Cargo is empty', or 'Cargo is full', we can specify 'one wagon is empty', etc. Obviously not all existing conditions would work with per-wagon basis.
Why ?
Increases flexibility of train routing, at minimal effort.

Haven't seen this one in suggestions search - apologies if it's been suggested previously!

I am against this suggestion. In my opinion, it would be better if the following suggestion were implemented:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51387 Rail car/locomotive scanners

That way, it would be possible to read the contents of individual wagons/locomotives using the circuit network. At the station, you could then set a wait condition based on a circuit network condition. This solution would be a lot more flexible than what you suggest.

The underlying logic is similar for both, if they implement it it could easily be done for both suggestions.
