  I always understod a "shoo-fly" to be a temporary track laid around a wreck site or a wash out. By its nature, it had undesirable curves compared to the permanent right of way, and the expectation was that it would eventually disappear when the permanent right of way was restored. Why the term "shoo-fly" I never asked. I just knew this was what the term referred to.

  Can some of the old-timers explain to us newbies why it is called a "shoo-fly"?
  I would like to hear the explanation.  
  Many thanks.
