Best way to store Lionel O gauge track

[Hotrod]

I have the option of using some of my old Lionel O gauge 3 rail track on shelves to display my cars or to leave the tracks in a box in a "dry" area. Will the tracks oxydize less if kept in a regular corrugated box than being out on shelves? A side from the corrugated box, what's the best way to preserve and store these tracks that is practical and realistic?
