I would not use Goo-Gone for cleaning track - it works well for removing sticker gunk and such (well, it does usually take me two applications to get the job done), but you have to wipe it down afterwards to get a clean finish. If you're gonna do that, why not just use a brightboy or equivalent to sand away the track crud.

Haven't used it on track. I use it on most everything else (my wife says I'm a slob). [:D]

Just curious to see what kind of luck people have had using Goo Gone to clean track? I've used it in the past and it seemed to cause more problems than it cured. It seemed that no matter how much I cleaned the track, it was always dirty. And it acted like it just attracted more dirt and grime.
I now use a liquid that was recommended to me by Atlas and made by Aero Car Lubricants specifically for track cleaning.
It's part # is ACT-6006 and called "Track & Rail Cleaner.
So far it's worked great.
