There is a non-trivial cut on the south side.

The tunnel is through solid rock, so they didn't have to line most of it.

I looked at several different topo maps, and none of them labeled the route that goes through the tunnel. The route to the north is labelled DL&W, and the route to the south is labelled Pennsy. Given the following comment, the route through the tunnel must have been DL&W.
"THE OLD DL&W & PRR Bel-Del, Pennsy trains entered the old [pre Cut Off] Lackawanna Main & ran from Philly to East Stroudsburg the DL&W serviced the Pennsy engines at the Gravel Place Pocono East Slope roundhouse ! The 2 Railroads lighted & filled in the bases and the small interchange yard there. About 5 years ago the there was another flood through the tunnels & wiped out the entire hillside right down to the NJ State highway and it was all filled with rip-rap. The Old Lackawanna Main had been removed in the late 1960s" [David J. Monte Verde on a Facebook post]
