what you have there is a piece of malleable steel that's lightly bent it's not even a cast piece - just a bit of plate
all a frame builder will do is bend it back (unless they want to mug you off with unnecessary work), though what has already been said - you could leave it as it is.
keep tug in and whack it back with a rubber mallet (or hammer with wood on dropout to protect ) or vice it back together.
don't know what the tugs are like inside (or if ends are properly flat and perpendicular at the rear) , but if they are not straight on rear of track end, over doing that may have splayed the end
if you take to frame builder try and get it done while you watch - and let us know if there is some other secret i'm not aware of.
