Does this mean that, Like Southern Ry. and so many other railroads, that 
the N&W removed parts of it's double track some time in the past?  I 
know that the line between Roanoke & Lynchburg today alternated between 
single and double track, but I haven't run over it enough to notice 
whether it is graded for two tracks all the way.
