Need help with a power problem to the Lionel Die Cast bridge

Have you checked the track with a meter? Test for continuity and power. That should narrow it down.

Thanks Consolidated. That was my next check but I have to buy a new meter.......Paul

If you don't have a meter, you can do a quick continuity check with a light. 

With a coupon, you can get a cheap multimeter for free at Harbor Freight. Without the coupon it's only $6,

I am kind of stumped. First, I finally started to wire the layout I have been building for sometime now. I have two tables pretty much wired. It is set up for Legacy right now but will be adding DCS shortly. Everything has been working that I connected until I wired the track for the Lionel Die Cast lift out bridge. As I run the engine onto the track for the bridge the engine runs to bridge but stops dead going no further. The way I set it up was it starts off with Gar Graves then goes to fast track transition piece, which goes from Fast Track to tubular track then the fast track girder bridge and that is connected to the bridge abutment then the die cast bridge.  I also used the Gar Graves transition pins. On The Gar Graves piece of track I have both grounds wired and the power. Have I missed something simple. Any help will be appreciated. Pics. Thanks Paul

I don't see any track pins here out of the switch. If so are you powering this as a separate block? For engine to stop there is no power or no common in that section. Have you tried rolling a lighted caboose or passenger car along?

As mentioned, do you have a meter now to check voltage?
