In many of your parts you have this extra geometry that serves no purpose that I can think of.
Then you create a new sketch and feature to remove it.
Why not simply delete?
I don't understand the logic?

On many of your parts you have done too much work and have duplicated dimensions.
If you use symmetry about the origin (as described in the document I linked), construction lines, equal, colinear and other constraints you can dramatically reduce the number of dimensions.
You should never have duplicated dimensions for symmetrical geometry.
If you want me to walk you through how I might create one of these parts I can do that - but you will have to take the trip with me.
(this should have been covered by your instructor)

What is my next step in making the train go around the track?
