 definitions, add to the specification in your cgi-bin/hg.conf file:
 
 db.trackDb=trackDb_localTracks,trackDb
 
+Beware of the specified order of the tables if there are tracks
+by the same name in each table.  Any definitions for tracks
+in trackDb_localTracks will override any definitions for the
+same named tracks in trackDb.  You could thus override the
+standard definitions for tracks from the trackDb table.
+Your usual case will be that your tracks are unique to your
+local installation.
