Reply to "Very strange phenomenon with one locomotive on one piece of track!!"

I think you have found the symptom, not the problem.  It should not do that in any way shape or form.  I think you have a wire that is being pulled at the same time or something shifting in the truck, like the connection to the pickup and that truck turns.  I think there is a screw that holds the eyelet to the pickup roller section that might be loose.  As you are making the turn, that screw is not tight and is allowing the eyelet to slide or shank of the eyelet is too long and is hitting the truck, it could be the front or rear truck and you just happen to be seeing it on the front.   Your fix may be temporary as it will then show up somewhere else eventually. I would check the screws in the trucks and then I would take the shell off, but some clips to give it power and move the trucks around to see what pulls.
