That's all going to depend on how you have your tracks wired. If you got one long bus, you can divide the bus and see which half it's on, then divide that half again until you isolate the short. If you're running DC and have blocks, the best way to do that is to start pulling the block wiring. If it's new wiring, you might find that you've created a reverse loop. Regardless, the best way I know how is to put an ohmmeter at the source and keep pulling wires or cutting the bus until the short goes away.
