One of the great engineering feats of the eastern United States was the Lackawanna Cutoff, constructed in the early 20th Century and abandoned in the 1980s. Two large concrete viaducts were constructed on the Cutoff, one spanning the Delaware River near Columbia, New Jersey, and this viaduct spanning the Paulinskill near Hainesburg, New Jersey. In this 2001 view, the Paulinskill Viaduct sits quietly, perhaps awaiting a return of passenger service by New Jersey Transit at a future date.
