Most MR dogbones are doubletracked on the middle part. This avoids needing
to solve the reverser loop problem (if you omit crossovers) and gives much
more operating flexibility since you can have arbitrary numbers of trains
operating (within limits of blocks, control, etc...) instead of just one or
two.

Yep, our VLC show layout last Nov was a dogbone with the doubletracked
narrow section going over a causeway and bridge. We mostlty had 2 trains
chasing each other around, with a few more in sidings waiting to run.
