The Lackawanna Old Road was part of the original mainline of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DLW) in New Jersey. Opened in 1856, the Old Road ran 39.6 miles (63.7 km) from Port Morris Junction to Slateford Junction. It was relegated to secondary status after the 1911 completion of the Lackawanna Cut-Off, which was 11 miles (18 km) shorter.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
