I am a novice, but I found, in my case, that this usually means that the track isn't joined, it looks okay, but there is a gap or a grade difference you cannot see looking down in surveyor. ZOOM in during a driver session and use the roaming to check your track.
Now how about fixing floating track!
Go to the that area in Surveyor and look for a split in a spline joint. Click on the spline joint with the height adjustment tool, and this will fix the split.
@Stewart,
Floating track is a pain, and I hate it too. Use the terrain height adjustment tool along with the track terrain-leveling tool to fix this. I get the height of the track then go into the topology tool and set the land height to be the same and apply this to the area.

Or space the two track ends a bit apart and then "Get" the height of one with the "get spline height" picker from the advanced drop down menu.
Then use that height to set them both to the same height and simply drag the alignment circles accurately together with the move tool.
In most cases you will see them kind of click together
type of thing..
Sometimes I have to try to refresh it by 'getting' the same type of track too and you may have to wait a little while the engine refreshes.
That's how I manage to do it with a big layout.

Thank you, I just been trying that method, I will continue to pursue the skill. One more question if its okay to steal more from this post...is there a way to view in surveyor other than straight down, so I can find the floating track before there is a locomotive on it
