Duffy's Cut is the name given to a stretch of railroad tracks about 30 miles (48 km) west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, originally built for the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad in the summer and fall of 1832.

The workers came to Philadelphia from the Ulster counties of Donegal, Tyrone, and Derry/L
