Indeed, if the Lackawanna hadn't waited, it would not have possessed the technology necessary to build the line in the first place. Starting at Port Morris, the Cut-Off travels west through scenic Morris, Sussex and Warren counties on its way to the Delaware Water Gap, across some of the world's largest rail embankments, and two massive concrete viaducts. Looking for what is uniquely New Jersey? Following this route takes you along one of the most innovative endeavors of the early part of this century and through some of the prettiest countryside in the northeast!
