Here's some pictures along the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin Rapids. Some of the panoramic stitched pictures might have errors, but you get the idea that this is an important stretch of the river. The weather was too hazy for good pictures. Model railroaders will have enough information to model a paper mill, but this one is too big to model. The paper mill is on the left, the pulp mill is on the right, and the railroad cuts across the middle. |

Cropping out all but the roundhouse. It's round, but the table and pit are long gone. MOW uses the space. |
