To work with 44912 reversing control you have a straight insulated gap with terminal. Why do you not have a curve?
What is an easy way to remove the connecting pins to insulate a track?

...remove the connecting pins...
Are you asking about removing the metal rail joiners?
Yes
How can you insulate a curve track without removing the interconnecting pins?
I have done this and I get a short when the locomotive passes over it. The light on the controller goes out.
You can. The only other way I can think of is to cut a gap in the rail somewhere down the line, using a Dremel cutting disc or track razor saw. Some folks will then glue a piece of styrenne in the cut gap between the rails to insure it is isolated.
For how to remove rail joiners from EZ track, look here:

Lots of other posts out here on the subject as well. And if you hunt around, you will find a video posted here by Narrowminded (Jeff). Keep in mind, removing them from EZ track can be a hit or miss prospect to be able to do it and not do any damage to the rails.
I have a small screw driver blade on my knife. Using it I could open up the joiner and loosened it up on the track and remove it. It was not damaged nor the track and could be reused.
I have done that as well; "flaring out" the edges of the joiner so I turn the joiner into a U shape. But in addition to doing that, I also had to trim the plastic using an Xacto blade/knife at the ties, where it was molded along the joiner to keep the joiner in place. I also used the blade to flare out the edges of the joiner.
