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. Work inside the Roseville Tunnel is almost finished. 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". Included is "Building the Lackawanna Cutoff" by McCabe and Gordon which is an album of postcard views of the building of the Cutoff. Both of these are available for sale from the Sussex County Historical Society as the Lackawanna Cutoff Combo. Go to our website at www.sussexhistory.org and click on shop to see our book offerings. Paypal is accepted.
