My switch is an 1122 (not an E). A couple questions. Is it possible (or hopefully probable) that the auxiliary rail (1122-159 RH) should prevent my 2023 Alco engines from derailing on this switch? In other words, will the rail "smooth the way" for them or do I need to do something else like grind down a high spot?
It's definitely a sharp jolt and I've also seen some sparking. The dummy unit takes the biggest hit but the powered unit also derails from time to time.
