Atlas makes great track but their turnouts leave a lot to be desired. I agree with Engineer Joe. Also, are all the wheels in gauge? If you were getting a short, you would get a red light (on some transformers) and trip a circuit breaker. That does not seem to be the case here. If your engines are Proto 2, switch to a BCR. Proto 3 engines are much better equipped to handle a brief interruption of power, but does not solve the problem entirely. Are all the outside rails properly grounded? I run MTH engines exclusively and have gone batty trying to get them to creep through Atlas turnouts, even adding an extra roller to my steam engines.
