I'm curious Chris, in what sets was that the case ?
And do these gray ones have those "negative" tapered ends, just like the old
blue track had ?

Gimme a set number for "the wildwest miningish" please.
I own set 4555, it has track with notch-accomondating holes.
I own the harbour set that has a portal crane running on tracks, here you find

Mmm, the tracks don´t have notches, instead they have holes where the notches
of the sleepers fit in to. Are they called "slots" in English ?
