This photo shows the central area of the layout and the bump out area. This area would later be changed by the substitution of a series of trestle bridges for the Erector drawbridge, substitution of accessories in the bump out, and a trestle set crossing the lake at a low level and circling around the area near the 3 tunnel portals at the upper left center of the photo. This photo also presents an excellent view of the lake which was filled with real water and had a moving ferry boat in it. The waterfall in back of the bridge even had a train running in back of it after the 1953 remodel.
