Can't say. I always knew them as Freight Leads, although occasionally someone would refer to them as "Main Line 1" or "Main Line 2" on the radio.
In any event they were never main tracks; rather, although they were signaled in both directions, they were OTOH (Other Than Main Track) with 10 MPH speed limits.
