Gus's solutions are good. Track alignment is critical
But you forgot to mention if it happens sporadically, or always at the same spot.
If its the same spot every time, check that spot. I could be so much as a joiner that slipped underneath the rail, instead sliding into it, especially with flex track. That would also cause derailments, and spotty electrical connections.(I've done it a million times). You might not see it, and sometimes feel it when cleaning track.
