If this is true, it sounds like you have power feeds from your power pack running to various ‘blocks’ of track. During installation, you may have inadvertently swapped the power leads on these sections which would cause the problem you described.

It is also possible that you have some turnouts in these sections that can cause this issue though it gets a bit more complicated. A general rule of thumb is that the power feeds should be connected at the ‘point’ side of the turnout. For example, if you have two turnouts that are joined so they look something like this ( >–< ), the power feed should in between the two turnouts, NOT past the turnouts. Hope this helps. Geof
