The Hudson, from the wilderness to the sea . e immense many-sided engine-house of the Western Road, whose great dome, covered withbright tin, is a conspicuous object on a sunny day for scores of milesaround. The Hudson Eiver Eailway is on the east side of the stream, and followsits tortuous banks all the way from Albany to New York, sometimesleading through tunnels or deep rocky gorges at promontories, and atothers making tangents across bays and the mouths of tributary streamsby means of bridges, trestlework, and causeways. Its length is 143 miles.More than a dozen trains each way pass over portions of the road in thecourse of twenty-four hours, affording the tourist an opportunity to visitin a short space of time every village on both sides of the river, therebeing good ferries at each. The shores are hilly and generally well-cultivated ; and the diversity of the landscape, whether seen from the carsor a steamer, present to the eye, in rapid succession, ever-varying picturesof life and beauty, comfort and thrift. CHAPTER VIII.. .^HE first village below Albany is the pretty one of^ Castleton, on the Hudson Elver Railway, abouteight miles below Greenbush. Around it is apleasant agricultural country, and between it andAlbany, on the western shore, flows in the romanticNormans-Kill (the Indian Tawasentha, or Place ofmany Dead), that comes down from the region ofthe lofty Helderbergs. Upon the island in theHudson, at the mouth of this stream—a noted placeof encampment and trade for the Iroquois—the Dutch built their firstfort on the Hudson in 1614, and placed it in command of CaptainChristians. The island was named Kasteel, or Castle, and from it thelittle village just mentioned received its name. The alluvial flats inthis neighbourhood are wide, and low islands, partly wooded and partlycultivated, divide the river in channels. They stretch parallel with theshores, a considerable distance, and the immense passenger steamerssometimes find it difficult to traverse th
