              Once the arch has been made,
         the tracks appear from underneath
         the branches of a tree that partially
         obstructs the natural rock portal
         that opens into the mountain.  Just
         as the line come out of the moun-
         tain, it fractures into three separate
         lines.  The one on the outside
         heads towards the front of the
         benchwork and onward to the
         turntable.  Multiple lines break
         off, where they house steam loco-
         motives, passenger cars and other
         miscellaneous rolling stock.
              The other two lines head
         through the center of La Croix,
         passing the depot on left and im-
         pressive King Coal Mine on the
         right.  Two more lines break off
         and carry hoppers to and from the
         coal mine, which is pressed up
         against the rock formations at the
         base of the mountain.  Once past
         La Croix, the lines once again
         merge together and pass through
         another portal and back under
         Mount Idy, turning towards the
