Can someone identify this track? I've included top and bottom pictures. I can't remember where I got it. Probably in a junk box from an estate sale. Trying to figure out what to do with it given I'm only using Fastrack. Thanks!

GarGraves.
ADCX ROB You are correct.
Thanks, guys! I've got about 24 or so pieces of the 37" straights. About 10 curved pieces, and a handful of other straights that I think were custom cut. I need to figure out something to do with them.
If you live close, I'll pick them up.

I'm in the Raleigh, NC area, but I'm still thinking about them. Might do a trolley line.
gargraves flex track without the stringers. Ross or curtis track with the stringers.
Looks like Gargraves to me.
It is Ross - I have the exact same ones with the stringers where the Gargraves doesn't have them. They have those to keep the track aligned in the curve value they are. Regardless, the Gargraves and Ross track are interchangeable.
My wife suggested using the track for a bump and go trolley. And I might could also use it for a gantry crane I have on the way. Any suggestions as to economical bumpers? I didn't like the looks of the Gargraves ones, and I'm pretty cheap so I try to use what I have on hand. I didn't like the bumpers available for Fastrack so I modified the track to accept the metal Lionel versions. Would love to use those on this track, but haven't quite figured out a way yet.

I have a bunch of the plastic ones you are showing in your pic. The only thing that doesn't work is if you have a lighted one - the center rail pickup is not long enough to touch the rail, so I had to solder a wire tether hanging down which touches the rail, so all are working fine now.
