I don't believe it's implied, since this situation is the same for pretty
much all but the farthest outreach branches of municipal natgas and water
pipes and electrical powerlines (though potential being the key there).
 Heck, even light rail systems are this way to some extent in many cities;
I must have knocked the "oneway" tags of the MAX lines in Portland half a
dozen times after I added those tracks before I gave up on that (TriMet's
rulebooks and, heck, even on the ground singage and signals!) clearly
indicate (almost) all tracks go in both directions (the ones that don't are
fairly obvious crossovers near yards, or wash rack tracks in yards
themselves, and I'm honestly unsure on the locations of these save for the
wash racks, and even then, I only have a sneaking suspicion which way
trains move through them; and the 5th and 6th Avenue tracks, are probably
one-way (given the trains run in traffic lanes there), but even then, I'm
not actually sure trains aren't allowed to go against traffic there;  I
know the Yamhill and Morrison tracks definitely do allow travel in both
directions, as I've been on trains on both streets that have gone against
the normal operating direction).
