Here's a suggestion to prevent train crashes:

* forbid trains to reverse/change direction in an interchange block

I've made a Y-junction, a 'lost' used this junction as a tail track ie it
reversed within the interchange block (it seems it didn't obey its path??)
At the same moment, another train entered the interchange block (the
original paths were not crossing), but since the first trained reversed
direction, both trains crashed.
