Upon reaching the second level, trains will approach the city of Marquette, MI. This city will not be modeled on the layout at all. What will be here in its place will be one industry, Marquette Papers. I plan to have this area be a focal point on the layout as it will be the first thing a visitor sees when they enter the layout room. If all goes according to plan, the paper mill will be almost twenty feet long! This will include a small switching yard on the "south" end, with the rest of the real estate being used for the mill itself. This area will definitely keep an operator busy.
