Lackawanna Cut-Off Rehab

   ALL ABOARD ! A quick stop in the early morning on my drive into work.  I was surprised to see that work was progressing nicely now that the tunnel entrance (west portal, that is) was blocked-off from the elements.  Lots of wire mesh was installed over the rock faces just like it was on the east portal. It looks to me like the tunnel will be completed by the time spring rolls around, because much work needs to still be done on the remainder of the railbed, as well as constructing the new station in Andover. --------------------------------------- The first (7) pictures are looking west from atop the West Portal of the Roseville Tunnel --------------------------------------- The next (2) pictures are looking at the north rock face with the West Portal of the tunnel to the right --------------------------------------- The remaining (6) pictures are looking at the  West Portal tunnel entrance   --------------------------------------- I hope you enjoyed the views !
