Looks like the transfer track is just completely moved over, that's what they do when they remove the trains.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a piece of track that lead into the storage shed that was removable so it was easier for them to remove the trains. You can tell this piece of track wasn't traveled on much as they are no marks left from the wheels.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
