If you take two power wires from dcs to one psx and jumper it to the other psx ?via the terminal board on one end of the psxs and then send two wires from each psx (terminal board on other end) to each loop the two power sources should be independent
I isolate loops with plastic insulators evenly

Hi - I have two PSX Circuit Breakers, I¡¯ll call them PSX1 and PSX2. I have an inner loop of track and an outer loop of track. If I have a loco running on a loop, and I intentionally short out the other loop, the locomotive will stop momentarily, then run for 3 or 4 seconds, then stop again, so on and so forth. I thought with the PSX circuit breakers, a short on one would have no effect whatsoever on the other??
So then I thought maybe my two loops were not totally electrically isolated, so I checked that by disconnecting one of the buses to one of the PSX¡¯s, and I didn¡¯t have any track power on that loop, so I know it was not electrically connected to the other loop.
I¡¯m running a Digitrax system, N scale. I¡¯ve installed the ¡°digitrax¡± jumper on the PSX¡¯s. My isolation sections between the two loops are 3/4 inch or more apart per the PSX directions.?
Any ideas or is the stop and go of the loco on the non shorted loop normal? ?Thanks.
