If the switches are the "027 type" (brown plastic basis) there were a number that were manufactured poorly. For some years the 3rd rail in the center of the switch is wider than it should be. This was maybe also to accommodate engines with center pick up spacing issues. So I think whats happening in your case, as it did for me, is the flange of an engine wheel is bridging the gap between the outside rail and the extra wide center rail. I used a thin strip of good quality electrical tape along the edge of that center rail and it seemed to help. You can also try insulating one of the outside rails until there is no more problem. You only need one outside rail at a time to complete the circuit to the xfmr so insulating one will not be a problem.
