Rescuing and possibly restoring a Layout section

Thanks Charlie. If only it were as easy as you said:
   

I have already removed the rail, next I'll be removing the ties and ballast. Because I'm going dual gauge and adding the turnout, I figure it will just be easier to relay the whole stretch of track. removing the old track will also make it easier to fill the gap between old and new and the ties will match.
