Looking at these pictures leads only to more confusion.....
Notice the standard metal wheels reappear?
Here’s to hoping!

I noticed this as well, I’m guessing the old moters were used for testing and
early photos, but the final product will have plastic wheels. I’m really
hoping that the IR reciever is not permanently coupled the the motor unit.
Use a standard 9v train motor, and save the IR outputs for decouplers, lights
and sound control.
I’m also interested in the track, the parts do appear to be nearly identical
to the 9v track, other then the missing slots to crimp the metal on, and of
course the er um color. I’d really hoped LEGO would have adopted the modified
style turnouts. I’m also interested to see if LEGO produces and crossings, or
continues to push the 9v version towards plastic track users.

I was getting my hopes up looking at the boxcars - in the first pictures they
looked orange, but here they’re clearly red. I guess that makes the car on the
flatbed red too. The red fork-lift looks good; it just seems unusual for Lego
to do all these items in the same colour.
