If the track is rolled, it is probably in pallet sized portions. There are any number of equivalent sized metal or plastic tubs/tanks which might be suitable. A long flat pan will show a large surface for evaporation (and accidental foot falls). Whereas, a squarer pan will have less of the molasses' surface exposed, and the track might be easier to manipulate with a forklift and lifting straps.

I'd like to know if the sticky sweet attracts bees and critters. A good black bear bait is exactly this - molasses.

I bought a couple of large rolling home depot garbage cans with lids, and as you know we had a hot summer out here in BC. So far the critters have been a non issue, but I do keep the lids on, if you walk by the cans you hardly notice the smell, but when you open them...WA-POW! Haven't had any bear run ins yet either, but the pace of unbridled development here has pretty much driven all the wildlife away...I think I would rather put up with the bears than the condos..but that's just me
