Re: Double track mainline on a narrow gauge?

Portions of the South Pacific Coast mainline were double-tracked, including through most of Los Gatos and into Cat's Canyon just south of town. Going off memory, it wasn't single tracked until the early/mid '30s or so - well into the standard gauge era, so for a period, this portion would have been both double-tracked and dual gauge.
