flat file, knock off any ridges, sanding tends to be too imprecise (unless you have a very flat hard backing plate), a flat file with I believe its called a "mill cut" is what I would use. its flat and has a diamond shape pattern. Just draw it across the obvious damaged area to clean up any ridges. You will not be able to get rid of the defect but you can make it less likely to get hung up. more control than sand paper. the key here would be to not reduce the height of the pad, I think that is the main wear area that is of concern. Very little material would be removed.

Forgot to say thank you everyone for your help! I have replaced all my bearings minus the centers and turned my Keys/dogs around. Everything shifts smooth now!!!! Yay no more worrying about trains hitting my car! I just have to wait for some parts to come in so I can finish doing my manual conversion!

I feel sorry for the poor guy that must have been fighting it long enough to make those gouges. This is one reason why I like to do my own work whenever possible, assuming the prior owner had it worked on.
