Hi James,
long time since we interacted about this.
At the moment I'm not able to say why you get the crash, but I can tell you that the fact that you get the message that the locomotive MUST be stationary is well justified, because the SpeedRange of the pickups as defined in the .w file is
  SpeedRange ( 0 0 )
as yourself can see in your post #8. So, min speed and max speed are both set to 0.
So, in order for the pickups to become operating, these lines should be replaced with
  SpeedRange ( 0 2.0 )
(first value is min speed, second value is max speed in mph).
I think this should be done for all wash rack pickup entries in the .w file, that is entries 963, 964, 859, 858 and 860.
However I think this could not be enough, because I still expect you get the indication that the wash rack is of an incompatible water type. In fact OR checks if the pickup type is compatible with the loco running under it. So a water pickup can be activated only by a steam loco with tender.
