I have a bunch of these.  I installed a switch in a couple of them with an LED and I use them to power sidings on a carpet layout.  I put the side powering the LED to the siding, that way I have visual indication if the siding is powered.  The switch is on the left, and you can see the 2mm yellow LED on the right.

Yes they can be used as block sections, just take the jumper wire off.

hi everyone im not new with fastrak but im dumb founded... i bought these sections of fastak that are 1 inch and they have a slice in the middle of them. i see there is wire under them and i was told they go with switch track. my question is can they be block sections or did i waste money on them. i have 1 block section and was wondering if i can use these small ones for my layout. thanks chad at the trainstation lab/home
