Reply to "Derailing on an insulated track"

Also, if this is the lockon in question, I generally follow the convention that the rail insulated from the ties represents the insulated rail. I suppose if not using clips to connect the ties at track joints, in theory if the insulating pins are used it still could be insulated rail. Again, at first glance and at this zoom level, it's hard to ensure what exactly is going on as far as insulating pins and so forth.

i recently purchase a 681 locomotive in good condition seemingly.  Runs well.  But when I run either forward or reverse on an insulated track with a lockon for an accessory (crossing gate) the locomotive will derail.

This track is located next to an 022 switch.  Edited-- the accessory run by the lockon.  Does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem?
