No...

The old "blue" rail parts and the non-slotted "gray" parts are very different:
Both ends of old "blue" track flange is tapered over a length simmilar to
that of a 1 stud brick. This tapering (in a vertical direction) is normal
positive at the top side of the flange and negative at the bottom side of
the flange.
See Ldraw part 3228A.DAT for this, and my earlier posting on this tread:
