It’s easier to muck up the works at a switch. Bet if you mosey on down the track a ways you’ll find one.
The left has been laying track for decades, and the signs, like the tourist brochures, are lies designed to appeal to different groups, but it is all spin on the same destination.
Short of derailment, I don't think it will stop or change direction, and the only correct heading is a reciprocal one, not forward.
I'd rather not be railroaded, myself.
