Thanks Steve, Rod and Arthur. I just figured out the problem today. In reading Peter Riddle's chapter on operating tracks (Wiring Your Toy Train Layout), I find that I mistakenly continued the accessory power wire to connection #3 on the track as well as to the controller. Power to the controller is all that I needed. I removed the connection to the #3 post and all is well now. The track operates now at whatever voltage I set and no power continues to other track sections. Thank you all very much.
