Bill introduced to allow a Amtrak to sue over freight train interference. It'll never pass, but nice idea.

In the United States, the mileage of double-track railroads has decreased over the past 50 years, while the number of ton-miles has more than doubled. How much right if way still exists to go back to double tracking?

Railroads don't sell slices of right of way they aren't using, they'll usually allow easements for utilities.
For example out here in California most former SP mainlines have 80-120ft while 2nd rate mains and branch lines have 45-70ft.
