Chapter X: Conal Valley

Welcome back to the CJ of the Bright City. It has taken a bit to begin the Phase Two leaving Hellfire Bay moving to the heart of Aurora, Maya Bay, but here it is the first chapter dedicated to it!
CONAL VALLEY
This is the first district you encounter coming from Hellfire Bay, exiting the very long tunnel that connects it to Irvine, and also coming from Sunwell Plateau, making the highway that cuts the valley in two one of the busiest route of the entire region. The mountains are so high that the morning the sun takes much more time to illuminate the valley than the rest of the city:

A very long straight climb and descend the valley, after which it is one of the busiest interchanges in the city.

So does the railway, which even passes through the houses of the west side of the neighborhood, that is the most densely populated.
This ends precisely with the Conal railway station, the main arrival point for trains linking Maya Bay to the northwestern Cape Ness.


NORTHGATE
Very different is what is set in the east part of the valley, which hosts the important railway junction known as Northgate, with its logistics center and the adjacent industrial area.
But there is also an important passenger station here, through which all commuter trains to and from Hellfire Bay stops, while the outer rails are exclusive to all direct trains to Aurora Central.
The station is frequented by thousands of commuters every day, and it might seem a bit 'undersized not considering that this is primarily a transit place.
I end this entry with a couple of shots taken looking south:

Thanks a lot for the comments that you are leaving in the city's photo album, I hope you enjoy these new shots too!
Keep followin' and you'll be surprised!
