The track on the very left went down and looped around through what is today's Sam's Club parking lot and went underneath the M&St.L and MILW mainlines (look at old maps of the area) and came back on the other side of the MILW mainline. The part on the south side of the MILW is all that is left of this "balloon track." And the remanant is used by CP and TCWR crews to get to and from the MN&S spur to the Bass Lake Spur.
