They were were very kind and told me that they would add any track that was requested by users. After my request, they kindly added the track for E.coli BW25113. If you want your reference tracks to be added you could submit a request at this website:

  I found two methods:
  
  1. You want to visit this page for instructions for novel assemblies: <http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Assembly_Hubs> .
  2. However, before doing that I highly recommend that you check Genome Assembly Hub first:
     <https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hubs/genbank/> . There is a good chance that your genome or strain is listed there. Here is an example of how you can do that. Example specifically shows how you can display E.coli BW25113 strain in the browser.

  **Instructions:**
  
  1. Go to NCBI Nucleotide: <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide> .
  2. Enter your strain name: `E.coli BW25113 (GenBank: CP009273.1)`
  3. Find Biosample ID on the page, located under DBLINK: `BioSample: SAMN03013572`
  4. Go to GenBank assembly hubs: <https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hubs/genbank/> .
  5. Select bacteria. This will take you to "Bacterial assembly hub"
     at <https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hubs/genbank/bacteria/bacteria.html> .
  6. Look for *E. coli* hubs. At the time I looked #15-18 contain *E. coli* strains.
  7. Click on each hub and search for `SAMN03013572` using browser search function (`Command`+`F` on macOS). I found my genome in hub #16.
  8. Click on "common name" in the column-3. This will take you to
     <https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway?hubUrl=http://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hubs/genbank/bacteria/16/hub.txt&genome=GCA_000750555.1_ASM75055v1&position=lastDbPos> , where `FindPosition` window will be populated with your genome Assembly.
  9. Click on `Go`. This should take you to the UCSC Genome Browser with your genome assembly.
