I think you mean to say from West to East: 
You approached  West OV, where it went from double to Single  track.  West OV 
was about a shot half mile west of the tunnel.
You went through the tunnel on Single track.
You then went back to Double track at Ottisville, on the East side of the  
tunnel.
It was double track then and now to Howells, Jct.

Don't  have an ETT handy, but the configuration I remember from riding it in 
the  early 80's is single track through the tunnel, then about 1/4 mile east 
of  the tunnel, was West OV, went from single to double past Otisville  
station, then back to single at East OV, not sure of the length of the  
siding.
