After studying this photo, some of my own, and Google Earth street view, I believe it is quite possible that the stub end track diverging left to right from the main in this photo actually exists today in the same position. The main line from the switch to the foreground is gone of course. Fascinating.
Here is a link to a September 2013 Google Maps image which remarkably appears to show those tracks sill in place. Unfortunately, a follow up image taken in 2015 shows a pole barn structure has been placed on this location, so the tracks were likely finally removed.

Chris,
Thanks for the comments and links. I’ll have to add Google Maps to the research toolbox!
