As many of you know, NJ Transit is rebuilding the Lackawanna Cutoff from Port Morris to a new station site in Andover. The right of way has been cleared west of the Roseville tunnel to the new Andover station site where an area has been cleared for the station and a parking lot. The interior of the tunnel has been waterproofed. It is hoped that Amtrak will continue the rebuilding of the Cutoff to Scranton, Pa. You can read about the building of the original Cutoff in 1908 to 1911 in local Sussex county newspapers in William Strait's "Building the Lackawanna Cutoff" which is available for sale from the Sussex County Historical Society.
