Hi Greg. Yes, it matters. If the rails are connected backwards in one power district compared to the next it will create a short circuit when the wheels cross the gap. Even with AC, a short circuit is still a short circuit.?
If your trains run around the layout with no hesitation and you're not tripping the PSXes then everything's OK.
