The mystery track:

[Robert Schmidt]

Hi everyone. New kid on the block!
 
This spur ran 'back' from the outbound 40 Mt. Washington line to a point
about 50 ft. from the Junction Store where the track vanished in the oil
soaked dirt. Not only did M-1 use this stub, but other maintenance cars
scheduled for next day runs to Charleroi and Little Washington.

M-701, 283. and 212 were common sights on this short siding in the late
40's and early 50's until 701 and 212 were destroyed by fire.

The mystery track was paved over during yard renovations not to long
after abandonment of the 40 route when its right-of-way became storage
trackage.
