That's the West Harton line. It's a cycle track now. The other one is the Tyne Dock freight line which used to have a curve connecting to the Metro line just after Simonside tunnel. You used to be able to see the mothballed on Google Maps too. It was still in situ until at least the mid-90s after Westoe Colliery closed.
