It sounds like the track has come apart just enough to loose electrcal contact between sections. You have a dead spot.

You may want to run another feeder connection to the other end of the track. Also, as George suggests, you may have a contact problem. If you run the track on carpet, or on a uneven surface, it can cause a break in contact.
Good Luck,
Dennis
