The track to the far left looking east at Watsonville Junction is referred to as the garden track by the UP and SC&MB crews. This is where UP sets aside cars for the SC&MB. I don’t know the inspiration for the name, but I think a track leading off of a turntable and not going to a roundhouse stall was referred to as a garden track in the past.
