Good question!

The old test track ran along beside Oakover Rd on the alignment in the
photo.

After the merger of the MMTB and VR into Public Transport Corporation
the tramways got access to the railway reserve and built a longer test
track beside the railway - the one you refer to.

With the 'skyrail' conversion of the railway, some of that test track
has been lost.

So the answer is 'Watch this space!"
