Bay Area Brad Sorry I took so long to answer...was away from the computer doing trains. I'm sure no one else here has had that issue...again, apologies! It is Atlas 83 track, DCC, level 45 degree crossing tracks (actually 2 in parallel, I posted a photo in the original post but it seems to have been trimmed out).Here it is again...maybe it'll stay this time:

Go to the Model Railroader General Discussion forum and look for the message on posting photos. Really easy.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
Oh, and I should add that it is usually the two tracks going parallel, rather than the crossing track going from lower right to upper left.Brad
Just so we're on the same 'track'......you mean a level crossing, where two lines cross each other at like a 90-degree or 45-degree angle, and not a 'crossover' where a train uses two switches to move from one track to a parallel second track, right?
What brand is the crossing? DC or DCC? Code 83? Code 100?
It could be a momentary short where the rails of opposite polarity converge.

Greetings oh knowledgable tracksters -
I have a crossing that provides the opportunity for my locomotives to hesitate or even stop if they are going slow enough. I'm guessing there is a wiring solution for this but am hoping to hear the best from the collective group.
Any assistance is much appreciated! Happy Friday! And hooray for a long 3-day weekend of layout building! Brad
