I am searching for examples of both LRT and HRT single track (or significantly so) operations

I know portions of the Baltimore and Portland systems were built that way. It pretty much limits you to headways no shorter than 10-15 minutes, so it's hardly worthwhile for most systems.Baltimore's LRT was built so that they had a lot of single-track lines and headways of 7.5 minutes... but it was also built on pure politics and a floated bond. The bond's been paid back for quite a while, and they got Federal funding for double-tracking all the way up to a small section where there isn't much room for another track.
