Thank you mucho.  I suspected that would be the case but I do not have a catalog and the statement you quote is nowhere on the online pages where the product is shown.  I checked several dealer pages as well and found nothing.  that info should be stated on the package, I think. 

I will look into your other control suggestions.  Thank you much. 

Thank you Jim, but that is my point.  I bought the track and it has absolutely no explanation as to what is needed to make a train/trolley reverse.  If, in fact, you actually unscrew the base cover on the special track, you will find that there is nothing there that would reverse a train.  It is simply two wires connecting one end of the track to the other end of the track with no change in polarity.    As I said, I am not stupid, just trustful or gullible.  Bachman should have the courtesy to explain themselves as to how this track functions in the total picture of Trolley (or whatever) reversing.  My question to Bachmann is "I bought your track, based on your statements ('REVERSING TRACK") Now, you've got my money based on YOUR statements.  So, tell me how to make it work!.  Ray

I am far from stupid but I must be gullible.  I recently purchased a 4 pack of Bachmann "Reversing Track" The description accompaning this track on both Bachmann and dealer sites is totally useless.  I faithfully purchased the track anyway only to find out that the package contains NO INFORMATION that in any way tells me how I can successfully use this track to accomplish what the name "Reversing" implies. There is (on the package) ABSOLUTELY NO suggestion that I need anything other than the track to make my trolley reverse.  Nevertheless, the trolley does not accomplish that feat. 
Please, tell me what I need to make the track work and WHY Bachmann has been so misleading.
