Reply to "Am I doing wrong with wiring on my unloading homemade track?"

This diagram adapted from the one I drew for your other thread.  The summary table on the right shows what the guys are saying.  Most unloading cars activate when the controls rails have "hot" on one shoe and "ground" on the other shoe.  If you tie the two control rails together (as you state in your original post) you cannot achieve this condition since both shoes will be at the same voltage.

Separately.  In your other thread it appears you want to trigger the Unload action with a Lionel PW controller.

Hard to see in your photo but if this is a circuit breaker controller like the No. 92, I don't think it will provide the function you are after.
