As we round the corner after the tower, we arrive at an Amtrak station. Stan has a prototype photo on the layout's fascia, based upon which he built his model.

The station is positioned in the corner itself, so we continue to round the corner to arrive at a dense urban setting.

The lumber company sits on the other side of the scenic-divide with Sherwood.

Immediately after passing the lumber mill, a Conrail consist travels across the Hudson river.

Standing at the bridge scene, turning to the right, you'll see this scene, an area called Riverview.

...you come across a castle-like structure that appears to sit on an island.
