addedElectric locomotives. There are two new locomotives both are electric, one can carry passengers. Electric locomotives can only operate on powered rails.

- Junction will now automatically switch direction to avoid trains from being derailed.

- You can now rebind the controls from the Controls menu.

- A few bugs and typos were also fixed. One bug was with locomotives connected in tandem not working correctly.

That's it for this update. There have been many good suggestions for other things to add to the game. I will look into these and see what I can come up with.

Thanks and have a good day!
