Silicon Valley Lines: Layout Tour - Mt. Marvel

This area is serviced by a private narrow gauge railroad owned by MMLCo. The new management team may widen the rails to allow bigger steam engines to haul all those logs. Construction in this area of SVL is just getting underway. Only the single track mainline and a stub switch to the future timber line exists at this time.
