Yes, of course. But I don't know when I'll have time for that.
In the meantime, maybe you can ask therax if he upgrades the original mod. That will probably be enough for you: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/railloader
Other have already, but the original mod has not been updated in two years, with year old bug reports left unanswered.... so I'm not sure if it will get updated to 2.0 :/
