- Q16974293 abstract "The construction of the Lackawanna Cut-Off was a mammoth engineering project that produced a 28.45-mile (45.79 km) railroad line west from Port Morris Junction — near the south end of Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey, about 45 miles (72.4 km) west-northwest of New York City — to Slateford Junction near the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. Built by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W) between 1908 and 1911, the Lackawanna Cut-Off is 11 mi (18 km) shorter than the Lackawanna Old Road, the rail line it replaced, with far fewer and more gradual curves, no steep hills, and no grade crossings. The construction of the roadbed itself required the movement of millions of tons of fill material using techniques similar to those on the Panama Canal.The total project cost $11,065,512 in 1911. The cost to build such a project today, assuming it could be built at all, is unknown.The line achieved gentle grades and curvature for a route through the hills of northwestern New Jersey. For example, the steepest grade on the Cut-Off (0.55%, a change in elevation of about 27 ft/mile or 5.5 m/km) was about half that of the Old Road, meaning that far less horsepower would be needed to pull trains of the same size over the Cut-Off. The Cut-Off was built without railroad crossings to avoid collisions with automobiles, horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians. And all curves on the Cut-Off, except one (just west of the Delaware River), allowed speeds of 70 mph (113 km/hr) or more. DL&W chief engineer Lincoln Bush oversaw the planning of the project, while his successor, George G. Ray oversaw the building of the project.".
