Atlas (and others) used to make little plastic piers to go under the track. 
I assume you have a table top of some sort. The simplest method for this is called "cookie-cutter". You cut the tabletop along the sides of the track, far enough out for roadbed, and then put risers underneath it. The cuts can follow the various curves of the track. If you have a single piece of material (plywood or Homasote) it will usually form a nice vertical curve at the top and bottom. If it crosses over another track you need to put a bridge in.
