What is Lionel fastrack isolator track. Except for “isolator track” label, I can see no difference between the two.

I am helping my Grandson with his Christmas train. We need a 15” length of insulted track to activate a postwar crossing signal. I’ve used two pieces of block track to begin and end an insulated section. Can I use the isolator track in between or should Itemove the connector piece between the outside rails on a regular 5” piece.

in either case, how do I attach the wiring to and from the short insulated section.?

At one point I was building a Fastrack layout, and the "isolator" section that I purchased was defective from the factory and did not provide the insulation as intended.  Frankly I would just remove the connector underneath that bridges the outside rails.  No matter which approach you take, you should test the track section with an ohm meter to verify that there is no continuity before installing it.  My $.02.
