The gauntlet track is so that freight trains can bump out a little bit away from the platforms, so the (wider) freight train cars don't wipe out the canopy or platform edges. There will be Gauntlet Tracks at 4 stations - Northfield, R&T Park, UoWaterloo and Seagram, because those stops will be on the Spur which is shared with freight trains.
The Seagram station goes right to the road, so the switch point had to be North of Seagram, meaning the 4 rails for the SB track had to go through the road. It would have been impractical to locate the switch in the middle of the road.
