Voltage Drop In Section Of Flextrac

I finally invested in a decent voltage meter!  I finished wiring the inside track today on the new layout and discovered immediately on the engines first run around the track that an issue existed when the engine stopped over a piece of Gargraves Flextrac.  My track layout is entirely Gargraves, with Ross switches.  The voltage is fine on the curved sectional track to it's left, and fine a few inches to the right in the other direction on the same piece of Flextrac.  In the deficient "spot," the voltage measures about 4 amps, while the areas to the left and right measure 14 amps. There is ample power to the track in the general area.  I'm contemplating removing the piece of track and inserting a different piece.

Has anyone had a similar issue and what did you do to solve it?  Thanks...
