Get a brite boy or very fine sandpaper or emery cloth and clean your tracks. Make sure you also clean the top and inside part of the rails so your engines can get electrical contact.

I'm TRUSTING that you didn't actually put ballast on the RAILS !! As others have pointed out, that will stop electical contact and prevent the train from running... as well as possibly getting ballast and crud into the locomotive.
Do NOT use emory or fine sandpaper to clean, as that will damage the rails. Steel wool should ALSO not be used as debris will foul the locomotives.
USE a "BIG BOY"... a hard block eraser to clean the rails.
GOOD LUCK

From the sounds of it you got it on the rails themselves and its interfering with the conductivity of the track. Clean it well and you might need to lightly sand the rails to clean the contact surface for the wheels.

Gee, I don't think you are supposed to put it ON the rails. It goes between and beside the rails. If your train does not run, you need to clean the tracks (rails).

when you put glue on anything electrical, or magnetic, it messes with it's operation
