Yep. glue it down and block sand the edges with 100 grit to round off the sharp angle. If you are like me you break it in two. Sanding also removes that rough overhang. I then paint the track with flat brown spray paint before I nail it down. Spray it lightly and wipe tops of rails off with rag or scrape it off after it's dry. I then ballast with play sand from the lumberyard. It's cheap and is same color as the cork. For variety i last sprinkle on some white or gray ballast or sand from hobby lobby used for sand bottle art. One can also use an airbru***o spray a grease line down the center. Remove ramdom ties, color every third tie black or silver gray...
