W line - Federal Center vs Golden #1

Description

@yamanote1138

short version:
W line schedule doesn't indicate the difference between trains that stop at Federal Center station and ones that go to end of the line. Suggest adding an asterisk to the icon or something like that...

long version:
On weekday evenings, the westbound W line does not always go to the end of the line. Due to budgetary reasons, there is only a single track between the Federal Center station and the Jefferson Government Center stations. In order to keep the rest of the system in sync, RTD has some trains turn around at the Federal Center station instead of going to the end of the line.

Most folks don't even notice. Unfortunately, I get off at Red Rocks, which is the very next stop after Federal Center. SO... If I get on the 'wrong' W line, I have to get off at Federal Center and wait for the next train. Not a big deal unless the weather is particularly nasty.

When planning a trip that boards at any upstream station, it would be nice to know if the 'W Line' time you're looking at is one that will stop at Federal Center or go all the way to the end.

This only affects the W Line. You can check out the affected schedule for more info.

ps - Thank you for open-sourcing the codebase, I have forked it... but am still at the grunting and poking it with a stick phase. If I can figure out a fix, I'll happily submit a PR.
