Thank you, @Andy Hummell for your reply to my questions.

You guys are some very careful movers to run track to the end of each module, and still maintain the integrity of the track profiles for the rail ends while assembling, disassembling and transporting the modules.  And re-pinning?

Interesting solution to wiring solutions.

Thanks, again, for the reply.

Many of us put end protectors on the ends of the modules (as simple as screwing a piece of thin plywood or luan on the ends covering the track), and some of the bigger permanent modules, like the crashed UFO, have lids that fit over them and fastened with screws.  Our main 4 corner modules even have a special cart to secure and transport them.  I transport my module in the back seat of my pickup, so it hasn't needed end-protectors so far, but if it were to be transported where it could shift, like in the bed of my truck, I would put protectors on it.  We also have strict handling rules where modules are never set down on their ends.  Still, accidents occasionally happen, and having the right tools and materials on hand makes short work of the repairs.
