Heading towards Greenwood Lake, the line would pass the Hewitt Station. This station had been located near what is now the intersection of Greenwood Lake Turnpike and the East Shore Road, West Milford, adjacent to the Long Pond Iron Works site. The East Shore Road was originally the rail bed.

Further north, the railroad would pass through a section known as the Glens. There the roadbed would hug the east coast of Greenwood Lake until it reached Sterling Forest station, the end of the line.

The postcard photo on the right has a 1907 cancelation. At the station, transport by steamer was available to take travelers to their destinations around the lake. The steamer Milford, below, was one of a number of those steamers.
