I have a question about the Atlas crossing track sections. Are the two routes across the crossing insulated from each other? Thanks!

I assume you are talking about the 45 deg ect. crossovers ?
The rails going straight through are electrically connected.

I figure that the rails through each route would be electrically connected. But is route "A" insulated from route "B"?

Yes... I think they assume you will eventually be looping around
back to the cross over. That will then power the other side.
Then again this is good if you want to cross 2 different main lines.
The cross is already insulated....

Two different routes with separate power supplies for independent control of the two trains. Hence the need for the two routes through the crossing to be insulated from each other. Thanks for your help.

Well so far you won't have to do anything. A word of caution though...
The center diamond does not have any power... So anything small has a hard time
going through it. Big engines, no problem. Just something to be aware of...
