I had already tried making the sewer cap nonsolid but it changed nothing, the path_tracks are cleanly above its collision model.
I think I found the problem. Seems to be a combination of 2 things.
1)A specific final path_tracks placement (rolling on itself while falling down the pit)
2)It is indeed inside a solid object... the func_tracktrain that lead it here (which is why the path_tracks matter I suppose), I needed to kill it as soon as the constraint is broken, otherwise it catapults the prop up and forward as it goes down.

I had something similar happen to me once. Found out my path_tracks didn't extend far enough over the final cap.
Was rather entertaining to watch, though.

This, and an attempt to avoid it, is the cause of plr_jackal's much loved "Flying Cart Bug."

I was haing the same thing happen - double check all coding on the entities, the trainwatcher, and the cp_master.
If that fails - copy paste a knowing working one into your map - example - Using BoojumSnarks game play library I took out all the items for the payload version I needed and placed it into a new box - tested it to make sure it worked (it did). Saved and called it - pl_test_map-working.
Then I did all my modifiactions/addons into it - using that as a template - calling each successive version path_test_1,2,3 etc until I got the end result that I neded. Then, once I knew it was working, I copied/pasted the nodes into my map and linked them into my existing track.
The mystery of the jumping cart was solved - er - ok fixed - never did find out why it was happening - lol
