For the modern "diesel" era, I fully agree. Our layout however is modeled in the early 1950s, i.e. big steam, and thus the rails/track is all weathered with a Rustoleum "charcoal green" color. The green journal oil from all those plain bearing freight cars and steam locomotives soaked the rail sides heavily, giving it that greenish tint.
