Are 9V tracks still being made in old dark gray, or have they been switched
to the new dark gray?

I ordered four boxes of straights after Christmas (and after Shop @ Homes
restock) and sadly, they were all new grey.

I think all 9V track has been dark grey for a while. You might find sets in
stores that have been sitting there for a while with old grey but other than
that second hand (or new from BL) is the only option if you want old grey.

It seems that LEGO exhausted their inventory of old dark grey tracks and had a
new run made up in dark bley. Some 9V tracks were out of stock over the holiday
and, when they came back in stock, seemed to be from a new production run. The
exceptions were obscure rails like the crossover and switching rails, which sell
relatively little volume. The crossover I ordered recently was still old dark
grey.
Although we all love old grey (and it would make things match better), I’m very
happy to see LEGO issue a new production run for 9V rails. They could have
decided that it was not worth the expense on their end. I am happy to see
availability of 9V train products continue.
