@@ericwieboldt7042 Yes they will run again.

@@edholderproductions whatever you have to tell yourself bub. Th rail shut down for a reason and it will stay shut down for the same reason✌

If there was no need for trains on the cutoff then this project would have never happened. Just look at all different kinds of documents that are out there explaining why the cutoff should be put back into service which is going to be in the next 3 to 4 years. Njt is going as far as Andover and Amtrak would go to Scranton in the long term.

@@edholderproductions again, pipedreams d nostalgic old men. The only reason njt and Amtrak have dipped their toes in the water is to secure federal funding. There is zero need for these trains to be running. No one, and I mean no one is looking to go from nyc to scranton pa. Most people that live in sussex county and work in the city dont want to take a train. Theres just no need.

@@ericwieboldt7042 if you can find a study proving this then do so because everything I have seen says everything against the what you're saying.

@@LackawannaCutOff It's the best way I can show people what the cutoff looks like from the road.

@@rich9862003 They blasted the one end .

Thought they were going to day light Roseville tunnel?

Obviously they didn't

@@ELAlcoRS3 your welcome.

It was on display for the 175th of the CNJ.

The line is running from NYP station to Scranton

@@edholderproductions I wish they would reactivate the line from NYP to Allentown It is less than 2 hours away and they used to have daily service but stopped it in the 80s

There is a report I saw recently looking into a activating that service

Not a waste of money at all.

Oh , but yes it is . This trackage will be re laid and the trains will probably run ..... someday... but will hey be used ?@@edholderproductions

Yes they will be used all the time.

Ed, While I appreciate your excitement over the rebuild of the Cut Off , I just can not get on board with the idea of people leaving their cars to make this a viable run and use of millions of dollars . I would love to see Amtrak run from Nashville to Atlanta , two of the fastest growing cities in the eastern half of the U.S. In spite of millions spent on studies of this service since I moved south in 1981 , NOTHING has come of it. They want a high speed line , when a viable rail line already exists. They did run varnish on jointed rail in the 40's and 50's , but now they cannot pull it off with ribbon rail !! I just do not believe the Cut-Off rebuild will EVER get folks out of their cars . The traffic in Atlanta and Nashville is BEYOND bad , this is where the $$ should go. Just my 2 cents here !!

@jamesbarrett918this isn’t 1960s. Sussex county sucks train needed

Was originally built for 2

@edholderproductions it would be cool if they did put 2 lines back in again one line can be just for New Jersey transit 🚇 and the other for amtrack and or freight service that way the New Jersey transit 🚇 don't have ta stop n wait for the other traffic ta pass by it will make things alot better n faster especially passenger rail service

Yes. Amtrak has plans of going all the way to Scranton.

@@edholderproductions that's good 👍

thank you very much. Once you do it a few times, it gets easier. I am not sure where the name came from. I do know where the nick name of the tunnel came from. When snow melts it forms ice in the tunnel. Calling it the ice tunnel as its nick name.

Yes. Inside the tunnel.

Lots of other things too.

SL&W didn't have any problems. They did the whole cutoff in bout 3 years. 🙂@@edholderproductions

Farmer John don’t like progress

I still don't understand why Conrail went through the effort of ripping up the tracks along the entire corridor instead of just abandoning and leaving it to rot

@@_SP64_ greed. They likely used a lot of the rail elsewhere, and they generally didn’t like other rails taking over their abandoned lines.

Thank you so much 😀

At least the date stamp stayed 😉

What was the big deal about this culvert anyway? Just build it!

@@1940limited It was the home to the spotted toad or some such thing

I heard there was a problem with bats in the tunnel. What happened to that?@@samanthab1923

A former camper took the photo. I asked the director of railcamp to ask the person who sent me the photo.

Thanks

It is shorter than the original one.
