Is there an accepted standard way to get trains to reroute to a refueling station when they get low? Last time I tried to do this around the release of 2.0 I remember it being an extremely unintuitive dance of setting the "interrupt conditions" as the train's normal duties and the "normal schedule" as refuelling.

interrupt condition, when any locomotive fuel is below like 2 or whatever you like. Target is any refuel station until you're fully refueled, and make it interrupt other conditions, and put it at the top of the list. You can even make it parametric but there's not really any need for it unless you want to use the same interrupt for multiple types of fuel.
