Locomotive Stops At Switch

Dave has been spending money on his O layout and is having problems with locomotives at switches:

“I recently purchased a Lionel 4-6-2 Pacific U.P. Traditional Steam Locomotive. I also purchase the FasTrack Outer Passing Loop pack. Things were splendid for 2 days, then the locomotive started stopping at one of the switches. The head light remains on. I put an old locomotive on the track and it runs fine through the switch. I put the new one back on, and it stops. Does someone have any idea what’s going on?”
