Anyways, back on topic: I have implemented almost all of the signlas in WUS. So that should help all of the AI confusion, these Pennsy track charts have come in handy for signal placement:

All you do is click on the letter that corresponds with the Interlocking you are interested in.

hold on i can go count on my route
Edit:
23 tracks with an adjoining platform but the amount varies as it bowls in. WUS has been revised so many times its track layout is pretty wacked out, some track has concrete ties some wooden, some pennsy signals some B&O it all depends. There's some MARC holding tracks and there is a hidden branch that I found in the plans and later found on google maps of a branch to the government printing office, idk if its used anymore but the tracks are still there.
There's also 2 metro tracks and some abandoned tracs. So lets go with my first answer and say "alot"

Alright I decided to ride the Metro today with my dad and my sis because I was bored. Normally I dont take any pics but this time I decided to go all out and take a bunch and I wanted to share them with you guys.
On the way in we took The Green Line from Greenbelt to Fort Totten, then it broke down in Fort Totten so we got on the Red Line to Gallery Place/Chinatown (via Union Station) and then we got on the yellow line to Pentagon City. We went to the mall and stuff then we got on the Yellow from Pentagon City to McPherson Square, where the train layed over on the only open track because they were replacing switches on the other track which I took a picture of and I caught some videos of which I will post later. We then picked up a heavily delayed green line back to Greenbelt.
So the next couple of posts will be my pics....

PICTURES!
Alright these will be mostly in chronological order:
Crossing over the NEC just north of New Carrolton:
Prince George's Plaza (Green Line)
Track at PG Plaza
West Hyattesville (Green Line)
Track at WH:
Self-explanatory:
On a girder bridge crossing MARC's Camden Line (not visible in the shot) in between West Hyattesville and Fort Totten (both Green Line)
Sorry for the really bluriness but here we are at the half inside half outside Fort Totten Station, here we are the green line platforms (Red and Green Lines--intersection, Yellow Line runs on Green Line trackage up to this poitn during select hours and days)
A better version
I will post more periodically because there are like 50 pics or more, now I gotta go work on your guys video.

Thanks, Im trying to stick with it but its quite overwhelming. I won't be able to post progress until next weekend. I just dont know what to do. I think Im gonna leave DC alone for right now and start working my way down from Alexandria since its very frustrating. Also I added interlocking right north of NCR and NCR's Metro Yard is under construction.
Davis
Edit:
The interlocking I added takes place right under this bridge that I posted earlier. I told myself I wasnt going to progress North but considering the signals at Landover facing North consider the line ahead (northbound) unsignalled I decided to cruise up the line until I found more interlocking on google/multimaps and sure enough not a mile north there was, so now sessions can have trains running North up through NCR. Before release I will probably add track up to Seabrook considering its not but a mile and a half further.
Here is the bridge:

Helmer,
That would be fantastic! I have been picking through websites trying to find what I need but to no prevail and I could definatly not find how many things you did! You see I dont wanna just lay the track and scenery and make it look good. I want to have detail from the driver's seat, realism, prototypicality, and for scenarios and just driving around the signalling and speed restrictions/limits would be great.
I could utilize all of this information.
Thanks man!
