Jones Cut is one of the cuts on the Lackawanna Cut-Off railroad line in northwest New Jersey. Located near milepost 64.8 in Blairstown Township, the cut was constructed between 1908 and 1911 by contractor Hyde, McFarlan & Burke. Some 578,000 cubic yards of fill material was removed by blasting with dynamite or other methods. Jones Cut is located on a tangent (straight) section of track, permitting speeds of 80 mph (129 km/hr). Blairstown Station sits within the cut.[1] Jones Cut is named for William Jones, who was the principal owner of the land that was acquired for this cut.[2] References1. ^Taber, Thomas Townsend; Taber, Thomas Townsend III (1980).
