Track maker identification

I've never seen tubular track with roadbed like that.

In general, tubular track is easy to cut to any size needed (I use a Dremel tool). I try to avoid small filler sections. Let's say that a full length section is 10" long, and I need to fill a 13" space. Instead of a full section and a 3" piece, I'd cut one of the longer length tracks available (usually equivalent to 3 sections) to 13".

John,

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, my Dremel is waiting in the wings. Thanks also for the advice on avoid smaller filler sections, which is well-understood. This is a scenario where the fill section is a short straight part of an S-curve, so two long sections won't cut it, (pun intended) here, unfortunately.

Thanks again!

Hard to tell from the one pic, but I'd guess someone sawed off part of one arm of a 90 degree crossing.

I am in agreement that it looks like a cutoff of a crossing, switch, or similar. Definitely isn't a track system I am aware of.

You can always take a gander through the virtual Toy Train Track Museum: https://railwaypages.com/track-identification

It's Lionel, and came from the 6-23010/6-23011 O Gauge Switches produced in the late 1990's. There's a matching curved section as well.

And yes, I'm still looking for a few additional straight sections myself.

Any guesses as to the make?

It's Lionel.  These pieces came with the 23010 & 23011 switches.

Looks like we have our winners! @ADCX Rob and @PaperTRW!

I had forgotten that these notoriously troublesome switches came with a straight section!

Great work, guys! Wow--what an obscure piece of track, and you guys pinpointed it in less than an hour. Thanks so much! It sounds like the piece I have is going to be all I'll find if TRW hasn't been able to find much more over the past 5 years. It might be time for the Dremel to come out to make some siblings out of standard tubular. 

Thanks so much, guys!
