Hi Tony,

For future reference, the "Track Search" tool (which you can get to by 
hitting the "track search" button under the main Genome Browser graphic 
on http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks) is a good place to start 
looking for data tracks that are relevant to you.  If you enter "rRNA" 
into the search box, several tracks are suggested, and you can click on 
the links in the track name column to read descriptions of the tracks 
and see if any are what you are looking for.

I suggest using the GENCODE Genes track, which you can read about here:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeGencodeV11

GENCODE Genes has "biotype" annotations 
(http://www.gencodegenes.org/gencode_biotypes.html) that can be used to 
filter the set so that you get only the rRNA genes.  To do this, go to 
GRCh37/hg19 in the Table Browser and select:

group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks
track: GENCODE Genes V11
table: Basic (wgEncodeGencodeBasicV11)
region: genome
output format: BED

Now hit the "filter: create" button.  On the next page, scroll down and 
check the box next to hg19.wgEncodeGencodeAttrsV11 and hit "allow 
filtering using fields in checked tables".  Add a filter so that 
"transcriptType does match rRNA" and hit submit.  Then hit "get output" 
and "get BED".  The result should be 531 rRNA transcripts from the 
GENCODE Genes track in BED format.
