Center track at Huger

[NW Mailing List]

Just west of Huger tunnel a center track comes off main #1 then connects to main #2 about 3,000' to the west.  I find it unusual since it's not connected to both mains at both ends like most of the center sidings.  Can anyone explain this arrangement and how the track is used?  Is it just a storage track?  The satellite image on google maps shows some hoppers parked there.

Here's the satellite image that shows the track:
