I'd like to know more about the conversion of double track to single track. Where did the bulk of this occur and which railroads? I would guess the northeast... but that's only a guess. It sure looks like the railroads had "given up" when they did this. How could railroads present themselves as a serious shipping option when they were ripping up mainline capacity? What did they say in reply to accusations that they were being short-sighted? Why not mothball the trackage involved rather than rip it up? <br /> <br />Bill, Toronto
