I'm grasping at straws here...but maybe that track didn't belong to either SP or the Army. They may be Oakland Terminal Railway tracks. After the Sacramento Northern abandoned their mainline down Shafter Avenue, they continued to access the Oakland Army Base via Oakland Terminal Railway (Key System) tracks. The SN (Western Pacific) trains would travel down Poplar street to a track that curved west toward the old Key System yard and under the freeway interchange. It's possible that the SN (WP) trains then crossed the SP tracks to access the Oakland Army Base.
