Standard Gauge loss of power as loco goes through switch

Good morning,

2 of my SG locos (390e and 392e) completely shut off when they go through switches (Ross O-72), with the interruption in current activating the reverse unit. The result is a rapid back-and-forth action until the loco finally stops on the dead spot. All of my other locos (1835, 385, 408 etc.) all run through the switches with no problem. If anyone has an idea of where to start digging, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!

Problem solved--after a bit of troubleshooting, it was bad relays on the LGB switch machines.
