Derailments Concern Railroader

Eric is having a problem with derailments on his HO layout. So much so, he is considering major layout changes to try and fix the problem. If you can help Eric with some suggestions, I’m sure he will be elated!

Here is what Eric has to say:

“I have a curved bridge on my lay-out … When my boxcars are pulled over the bridge they derail. When the boxcars are pushed they stay on the track. Adding or subtracting weights to the boxcars do not seem to make any difference. My question is; What other fixes could I try to solve this problem before I rip up my mountain layout and just go to a flat layout?”
