Railroad review

[JAZEIX Johnny]

Hi,

I didn't test it but here is the apk: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1Wylu9YXKcKaVVDUmVMV3E0Tmc

For reload, I didn't say it's a bad idea :). It would be even better if 
once you click on reload, it displays the initial wagons and if you 
click again, you don't restart from beginning but from where you were. 
And in this case, it's no more a "reload" but more a "hint". I just 
checked and what I'm talking about is the current implementation as in 
the Gtk+ version if you want to test.
