The Drunks wanted to see if an Amtrak Train fits on The Cut-Off!!!! Apparently didn't and did not bother to come back.
   
  Maybe a NYP-Scranton run may have worked with catenary extended across Delaware River and Scranton and into Harrisburg. After some 40 Oz's the Drunks could have dreamed up this episode!!!

  This was a test train run by AMtrak to evaluate possible service from
