Or "at the same time" means passenger service in the passenger corridor, and freight at the same time west of Leander and on the green line.

Yea it's surprising. It would require a very dependable and timed system so you don't have trains parked at stations waiting for the freight to pass them.
in terms of a complete double track, do you think they can just lay down a 2nd track next to the current one? The track seems centered in a relatively narrow ROW for a lot of the route. I wonder if they'll have to build 2 new tracks along the edges of the ROW.
