I’d want to believe even a “faint short” is gonna show up with a meter......believe me, I’m glad you found the issue....just curious how you did the initial test of the handrails and found them to be ok the first go-around?....I’m on a quest to learn...

The meter I have is a Fluke 87.

I originally was measuring with the “beeping” circuit feature which quickly finds “shorts”. When I turned that feature off this time around, I can measure down to Milli-ohms. I was getting readings which I should not have. This pointed me to finding the corrosion issue.

I also tested every pin in all my connectors to all the frames of the loco, thats where I found a weird reading with the program/run switch and swapped it out.
