Great shot...why did they remove the other track?

Gosh, I am just now catching your comment. The other track was removed in the 1960's by Southern Railway when they were single tracking the Washington DC to Atlanta double track main and adding CTC instead. Oddly, in some spots between Charlotte and Greensboro, the double track has been rebuilt, but thanks largely to funds from NCDOT for passenger service.
