I have a hunch that this has to do with the close proximity of the Seagram (Waterloo Park) station to the road:
Remember that stations along the spur will have Gauntlet Tracks, and perhaps the crews don't have the equipment (switch components, wide ties, non-standard road decking plates) on-site yet to install these. Note that no switches up at the OMSF have been installed yet either.
I had also been wondering why only one track was installed at Seagram. What you says sounds reasonable. I wonder where the more northerly of the two gauntlet track switches at Seagram will be. In particular, I wonder whether it will be North or South of the road, and therefore whether there will be gauntlet track in the crossing.
I think you’re not quite right about switches at the OMSF: I believe there is a single switch joining the permanent track to the existing relocated track near the North end of the OMSF property. I haven’t looked at it up close so I don’t know if it is new components or old ones. I believe some of the photos posted her show the switch in the background.
