toll_booth: Usually would be on different rails for one leg between rail switches, two tracks for freight, two tracks for passenger rail, and therefore one of the three tracks is shared. However, they get switched back and forth depending on who needs to stop, who's passing who, etc. CT has this kind of thing between all their commuter trains to NY city. Triple to quadruple tracked mostly, and usually at the stations it's quadruple or more tracked. They usually get switched into the center for travelling past a station and then to the edges for a station.
