ES44AC cutting out when traveling over 45° crossing

 I am hoping someone on here has an idea of where to start  troubleshooting. I have the Lionel Golden Swoosh  and when I am going through a 45° fast track crossing it  briefly loses power. If I am going fast enough it just causes the lights to flicker, however if I am going slow enough it will actually cause the engine to shut down and stop.  What causes me the biggest problem is that it is only with this engine and only on one side of the tracks going into the crossing it doesn't happen on any of the other sides.  I replaced the crossing with another one and having the same issue in the same spot.  I have tested track voltage  all along the section and it has constant power.  Even if it is losing connection with one pick up roller at the crossing shouldn't the other 3 be supplying power?  I have attached a video so you can see what I'm talking about. Any help you can offer would be great. Thank you.
