In February of 2022 it was decided to do a complete facelift on the Widen Lumber Mill. One original aspect to remain was the placing of the dual track line into the facility.
This is the original concept.
It was decided to expand from the original footprint. The only "original" item is the position of the tracks.
This is the completed look.

The storage facility was a "kit bash."
The facility offices are part of a "lift off" cover over a Tortoise switch.
