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 of the Transcontinetal Railroad across Promontory Summit (current site of the Golden Spike National Historic Site). The trestle was supplanted with, and eventually replaced in the late 1950s by, a parallel causeway built under contract by the Morrison Knudsen construction company. That causeway remains in service today as a crucial link of the Union Pacific Railroad's line between Ogden, Utah and California.
