As for connections at Washington Terminal "C" interlocking and CSXT the leg between "C" and "F Interlocking" (Ivy City) was originally two tracks. As far as I know the second track bed is still there. The connection between "C" and "QN" has been single track since WAMTA built their Brentwood yard back in the early 70's. Not sure if there's enough room to squeeze a second track in between the current track and the west leg of the coach yard wye.
The Metropolitan and Capital Subdivisions are directly connected to each other with two tracks and totally bypass the trackage within Washington Terminal. The single track you are referring to is the Y track within Washington Terminal and has no connection to the Capital Subdivision or NEC on the east leg.
