That junction direction is not right, is it?

Junction 1008, that green arrow direction doesn't look correct to me.
Should it be pointing to the other direction, to the left?
I have re-done it many times, I changed the lever type to no avail.
what could be wrong? thanks for your comments,

This has happened in Trainz for ages, there was one at the coal mine in Tidewater Point Rail in 2004 I remember and many since.
If you pull up the track either side of the junction and relay it usually works ok.

A flag color should be red for a diverging route (which I would assume being Left in this case).

The lever can be on either side, but looks best on the Right in this case.

A switch should always have a short section of straightened track just before the points.
 
Since this is a curved turnout, I'm going to guess that the centerline of the track with the train is overlapping the centerline of the other path ever so slightly which make the indicator think it is a right hand turnout instead of a left. Add some extra spline points to the curve and move them slightly to see if you can get the indicator to show the correct path.

If you have ever noticed you can apply a lever by touching the mouse pointer Right rail, or by touching the mouse pointer to the Left rail ... and you can tug the position of a lever from side to side, as well as up and down a track.

You can rename the junction using the " ? " button, and change its dirrection, or flip its orientation to the opposite side of the rail.

I sometimes rename all my junctions: ' (an apostrophy) but AI sometimes has a problem with that. (to get around that I place trackmarkers all along the route to "Drive Via" Trackmarker: A-B-C-D-E ... etc ...)

Trackmarker A can have many sub-trackmarkers in it's Block ie; A1, A2, A3, ... etc ... B1, B2, B3, ...etc ...

thanks for the tips. I resolved this issue by moving up a little the upper vertex (number 1 in the picture), added a new vertex shown as number 2 and changed a couple of times the direction of the junction 'J'. As seen in the picture a consist is resting on the track with the correct indication of the junction.
