I'm working on little project here at the office (and I don't have any track
here) and I need to know what the width of a piece of track. I know it's 6
studs, but what does that come out to in inches? If someone has a piece of
track and a ruler handy, I'd be grateful for the help.

I get 2 and 1/2 inches almost exactly.

Actually thats the distance between the outside edges of the ties (8 studs)
don't know if you meant between the rails.  Here are several dimensions.

2 1/2" from outside of the ties.
1 11/16" between outside of the rails
1 1/2" between inside of the rails
