Long sidings vs short sidings

I did not realize the multiple use of a siding. I learn something everyday on this message board. QUESTION: Is there any way to find [approximately] the amount of trackage that has been removed over the last 25 years from the American Railroads? It is astounding to me when I see mid to late 20th Century maps w/ the enormous amount of rail lines detailed in each state, and then realize how much of that rail has been abandoned and now removed in the early years of the 21st Century. I just wonder how much has been lost........ especially when you consider that many rail lines had double trackage in several places for many miles [10, 20, 25 or more] at a time.
