The last  "hurrah" for the Cutoff came in August 1978 when a derailment on 
the Delaware  Division (Narrowsburg?) forced Conrail to detour everything via 
the  Cutoff.  At the time, the Delaware was still busy (the Ford Plant in  
Mahwah was still operating) and saw 8 to 10 trains a day. 


 
And I believe Paul posted some photos several months back showing these  
Conrail Detour trains going through Great Notch in August of my birth  year.
