Ben, since you say (in another post) that you are 10 years old, I would stick with the the insulating joiners. They are available in any hobby shop that sells trains. I would hate to see you accidentally glue all your fingers together using CA. [:(] Some of the other ways are a bit advanced for now. Have fun with your layout and don't forget to show some pics as it progresses.

I THINK CA would be better, I've just about stopped using 'model glue' altogether, opting for CA (thin, medium and thick), liquid glue and others...

Testors model glue just doesn't do it for me any more, I don't know if I there's been a tube in the house for years.

Cut a gap and the file off the burrs and put a drop of superglue on it to keep from coming back together...

Atlas makes them, though I don't like them very much, too soft and often missing the insulating part in the middle. PECO make better ones. A lot of people don't use them at all, just cutting a gap in the rails with a rotary cut off tool and then filling the gap with a peice of styrene and then sanding smooth. This is the most unobtrusive way of doing it as if you paint and weather the track, it is almost invisible. Any model RR store will carry joiners by the way.
