I don't think that works. Around me, there are many railroads that are single-track but go long distances. The 1950s or so USGS 1:250K topo maps are interesting; railroads are thick black lines, since they used to be very important. The right test is probably: do any long-distance routes use this way? But really we just need to tag through railroads vs yards and sidings, and have some way to combine double-track railroads at smaller scales.
