As I have just suggested here, those information might be added to timetable sheet and that menu getting bigger to contain all the information, together with passing points showing mileposts.
@stronzio For the braking, I don't know how much it differs as brakepipe flow strength between Pax and Freight , but I felt it ingame that; like supposed to be in some of trains in real, passenger setting applies wagons BUT SIMULTANENOUSLY RELEASES LOCOMOTIVE brakes, whereas in freight it doesn't. This way, passenger wagons don't get jolted by loco, which makes discomfort. I kinda felt that jolting in freight services, but not in passenger.
For US locomotives however, it also changes reservoir pressure (Freight-Pax is like 90 - ~120 psi)
