Well, since you're on tracks this shouldn't be a problem; you can tell the engine to move ahead if there's track ahead, or look to the sides otherwise.
mob/train
  var/mob/train/next    // next car

  proc/Go()
    for(var/angle in list(0, 90, -90))
      var/turf/T = get_step(src, turn(dir, angle))
      if(T && locate(/obj/track) in T)
        dir = turn(dir, angle)
        if(Move(T) && next) next.Go()
        return
