It's mainly to keep FX from the original track.

Like this:

1. split at cursor

2. dupe track

3. remove all right from original, remove all left from dupe

This is pretty common in video editing. But can't find an easy shortcut?
Can I make this into an action?
Hi vincentvc, and welcome to the forum.

1. Select the item, place cursor, and click on "s".

2. There is an action to duplicate the track, I've got it tied to an icon in my toolbar just above the TCP (Track Control Panel)

3. Here again, there are actions for this. Actually if you use "s" to split, it automatically selects the the right part of the split item. Their's also an action for splitting and then selecting the left part of the split item, you just have to tie it to a shortcut key.

I gotta ask though, if you're duplicating the track, then splitting the item and deleting left on one track, and the right on the other track, why duplicate the track? I'm sure you have your reasons, I'm just curious.
