So, that's where they take locos to test them out, see how well they take tight curves?

Interesting but when you zoom in you get an older image without the track.
Is this someone's private speeder track?

So, I wasn't seeing things after all! Or more correctly, I wasn't not seeing things! I think!

That only takes me to the Googlemaps specs of the town, it says nothing whatsoever about the track: Who owns it? What purpose does it serve?

It was United Streetcar, the company no longer exists.

I was thinking that it might have had something to do with street cars as you could see the poles and catenary along with rather tight turns.

Mystery solved.

Could be a NASCAR test track?

No, they forgot their roots long ago.
