Abstract	Long term demand for rail transportation in North America is projected to increase considerably in the coming decades. A significant portion of the routes in the United States are single track with passing sidings. Eventually, the second mainline track will become necessary to maintain network fluidity. However, the full funding for the second track may not be available all at once; subsequently the track can be phased in over time creating a hybrid track configuration. Depending upon the traffic characteristics, traffic will transition from a delay characteristic of single track to a delay characteristic of double track. A response surface model was developed that tested various factors including the amount of second main track added, traffic volume, traffic composition, and the speed differential between train types. Design of experiments software (JMP) was used in conjunction with railway simulation software (Rail Traffic Controller) to conduct the analysis. The benefit of full double track can be realized for high priority trains with partial double-track. However, the low priority traffic may not experience double-track-like performance until nearly the entire second mainline track is installed. The results suggest a linear relationship between miles of second mainline track added and reduction in train delay. The maximum speed of the freight train has a great impact on train delays in a congested network. These results further the understandings of key mainline interactions between passenger and freight trains. In addition the models presented will facilitate the development of an optimal incremental upgrade model for capacity expansion. Also, the methodology presented can be adopted to analyze the progression from double to triple track.
