As it has been discussed here:

http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=182644

when 7727 appeared (1983), it was a standard to include a conducting rail curved,
interference-free (part id 3241c) in 12V Train sets of that period.
The pictures below, founded in the web, can show this fact (the 3241c can be
recognized on the bottom).

As far as the 2731a Conducting Rail Curved with Connection Wire and Short Connector
is concerned, it was an improvement of 3241c and probably started to appear in
1985 in sets 7745 and 7735, not before, so it could not be included in 7727 which
was produced until 1984.
