[0.18.10] Backing-up train when sitting in cargo has swapped L/R sides

Left and right sides (controls) are swapped when backing-up a train while sitting in any cargo.
When in locomotive this doesn't occur.

Steps to reproduce:
When sitting in a train
LCCCCC(CCC)
but i was sitting in a, lets say middle C (here its copper)
and backing up into a Y section
the turning controls seem reversed

(I was driving from south to north (bottom of the Y), wanted go to west branch, so I pressed S+D, but the train was going East branch
when later i disconnected only Locomotive, it was going S+D West (right hand branch (of riding direction)) and S+A East(left hand branch))

Thanks for the report. I'm pretty sure that's correct: your cargo wagon is probably rotated. But it has near identical graphics in either rotation so you just don't notice it.

Thanks!

Long story short

I couldn't make wagon to backup properly. Or rotate.
------
I wanted to try:
So I went ahead and tried to differ the graphics. I added red and green dots on them (128+ times)

But when driving I noticed that red dot always is facing south. So that is only graphic direction I thought.

And then i tried to rotate the wagon like I can do with Locomotive by pressing R.
And then I tried to "repark" the wagon, through a loop, with two locomotives and then reconnect and try.
Result was the same.

Thats it! I have no more ideas.

Thanks!
