During the late 1960s and thereafter, several lines that handled passenger traffic in the US were either removed (or double track reduced to single); however, starting in 1978, some have been restored. Instances that come to mind (mostly in the Northeast) include:
Rotterdam (CP 9) - Hoffmans, NY (CP 11) - removed by PC circa 1971 and replaced by CR 10/28/78 NYS financed
Niverville (CP 187) - Rensselaer, NY (CP 1) - removed by PC circa 1970 and replaced by CR 10/79 NYS financed
2nd track Stuyvesant (CP 126) - Rensselaer, NY (CP 1) removed by PC circa 1969 and replaced by Amtrak 2017 US/NYS
financed
2nd track Springfield, MA-North Haven, CT - removed by Amtrak 1989 and restored North Haven-Windsor 2018 US/CT financed
2nd track Westboro (CP 33)-Worcester (CP 44) - removed by CR circa 1988 and restored by MBTA MA financed
2nd track Greensboro-Charlotte, NC, removed by SOU circa 1967 and restored by NS US/NC financed
Quantico Creek Bridge, VA single tracked by RF&P circa 1978; replaced by DT bridge by CSX circa 2010 VA financed
Any other instances you guys can provide?
