Generally, if the track is not signaled for bi-directional working, in the US and most of Europe trains run on the right track.

In Australia and the UK, the left.

This is a new term to this Newbie. "signaled for bi-directional working". How is this accomplished?
Sorry for the interuption.

Like philskene said, but the Chicago & Northwestern ran left track on their double track.
