Wondering why portions of the Hudson and NH were reduced from four tracks in the past.
How does effect those lines in this day and age?

A 3 track right of way probably has more capacity than the 4-tracks of the NH did, given that trains can run on any track in either direction based on signal indication.
With increased SLE service are not four tracks needed in this area?
