Cut at Oakvale

I have noticed this "cutoff" just east of Oakvale for sometime on the N&W
tracks. In winter months you can see the west end clearly. Bing aerial
views appears to show this as clean cut that track could have used at one
time. In the attached image, north is on left (rotated view via bing for
better lighting of cut).  Anybody have any clues to the history of this
cut? Was it just an early route that was later changed perhaps?

This location is just railroad east of the large VGN bridge over route 112
at Oakvale (bridge over fire station).
