 You must have a feeder backwards again. Unless this time you have created a reverse loop. Taking out a straight piece and plugging in an Insulfrog turnout with no other changes should never create a short.

 Also, just some stills would show the track plan and the wires, doesn;t have to be a video each time!

Chad,

  What brand of turnout are we taking about, and what scale?  I suspect you will need to use insulated rail joiners or cut gaps.....

Well guys and gals, after weeks of wiring and testing and running trains in my yard, I have another short. Everything was working fine until I cut in the South switch to the yard tonight.  I have a short again. Once I remove the switch everything is fine and trains are moving in the yard again. What did I do wrong this time? I'm currently uploading another video showing the trouble area. Once uploaded Ill post the link again.
