Gettysburg Railway


The Gettysburg Railway was a Pennsylvania short-line railroad of RailAmerica that operated on between Gettysburg and Mount [Holly Springs, Pennsylvania|Mount Holly Springs]. The line shipped freight for local companies, interchanged with Conrail at Cumberland [Valley Railroad|Carlisle Junction] in Mount Holly Springs, and operated a tourist railroad under a subsidiary, Gettysburg Scenic Rail Tours. In November 1996, the Gettysburg Railway company was created to operate the Gettysburg Railroad, which had been purchased by RailAmerica's Delaware Valley Railroad Company for $1,075,000. The GBRY operated their own freight and tourist trains using their own equipment, including two Ex-Milwaukee Road F7’s from Dakota Rail. The right-of-way was later sold again to Pioneer RailCorp in 2001, who created the Gettysburg and Northern Railroad.
