Lucin Cutoff

Encyclopedia : L : LU : LUC : Lucin Cutoff

---

The Lucin Cutoff was a railroad trestle which crossed the Great Salt Lake in Utah. It was built between February 1902 through March 1904 by Southern Pacific Railroad, across Promontory Point, bypassing the original route in which the Golden Spike was driven at Promontory Summit in 1869. It was supplanted, and eventually replaced in the late 1950s with a causeway built under contract by the Morrison Knudsen construction company.
