However back in 98/99 NJT had its plate full with other projects(light rail, 
secaucus transfer, montclair)-All of which are now done! Light Rail will be 
done early in 05 to North Bergen. There are no other big projects on the table 
right now(unless they continue the light rail up the Northern to Tenafly or on 
the NYSW). However from what I'm hearing this will be a DMU railcar, and the 
plans aren't finalized yet. The cutoff stands to get funds in the next few 
years! still making it a 3-5 year project, so the 2010 figure might be forseeable. 
But at least its moving along

When I lived in Stroudsburg, Pa in 1998/1999 they held meetings and 
described how they were sure that the Cut Off would be back in service 
by 2004.
They did not make that date.  Understanding the problems of design, 
finance etc. I would be very surprised to see it before 2010 at the 
earliest.
