Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railway
The Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railway was a Pennsylvania line from near Carlisle southward to Gettysburg operated by a ( subsidiary ) of the Reading Company. The line also included the Round Top Branch over the Gettysburg Battlefield to Round Top, Pennsylvania until .
==History==
The Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railway was formed when the "Reading Railroad" took control of the South Mountain Railroad and on May 22, 1891, the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad (the G & H RR superintendent, W. H. Woodward, was retained).〔 ((larger article in The Philadelphia Record) )〕 On May 18, 1897, on the north side of the railroad’s station at Gettysburg, the "Reading Railway" had finished another siding across Washington St. By 1904, the Gettysburg yards had 5 sidings, including 3 over Washington St and 1 toward Pennsylvania College's (1889 Glatfelter Hall. ) Attached to the Washington St siding south of the station was the sole westward siding to the turntable and the roundhouse, which was on the northeast corner of the crossing. The crossing was the site of a 1909 Reading and Western Maryland collision of freight trains.
Just prior to the 1913 Gettysburg reunion, additional passing sidings on the "Gettysburg & Harrisburg branch of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway company" were constructed between (Goodyear ) and Gettysburg,() and a switch from Round Top Branch connected westbound onto the Western Maryland. The state health department operated reunion comfort stations at both Gettysburg depots (cf. Gettysburg Railroad Station),() and President Woodrow Wilson used the Round Top Branch to depart the Great Camp on his special train. Similarly, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's southbound train passed the Eternal Light Peace Memorial and stopped at a special station from where he motored to Oak Hill to dedicate the memorial during the 1938 Gettysburg reunion. In 1924, the land for the Idaville station was sold.()
One of the railroad’s last excursion trains was a May 7, 1939, Reading Railroad train with 400 from Philadelphia over the Round Top Branch.() Except for special occasions, e.g., Bethlehem students in 1958,() Reading passenger service to Gettysburg ceased in 1941;() and a 1942 application was made to abandon nearly the entire Round Top Branch. The station was repainted in 1946,() and the turntable and 3-engine roundhouse had been removed before 1970. The Gettysburg spur south of the east-west Western Maryland RR crossing and that had been part of the Round Top Branch remained until at least 1962.
