That's one complicated piece of trackwork you have there.  If you go to your album and at the top right next to copy, hit the arrow and get share links and copy the BB code, and put that in your post, we can see your pic directly without going to Imgur

A little over 1/2 way down the page.

Your question is a bit cryptic. At the most basic level, sections of Unitrack are isolated with insulated UniJoiners.
