Add article description

The Gettysburg Railway (reporting mark GBRY) was a Pennsylvania short-line railroad of RailAmerica that operated on 23.4 mi (37.7 km) between Gettysburg and Mount Holly Springs. The line shipped freight for local companies, interchanged with Conrail[citation needed] at 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.[1][2][3] The GBRY operated their own freight and tourist trains using their own equipment, including two Ex-Milwaukee Road F7’s from Dakota Rail.[1][2] The right-of-way was later sold again to Pioneer RailCorp in 2001, who created the Gettysburg and Northern Railroad.[4]

Not to be confused with Gettysburg Railroad (1858–1870), Gettysburg Electric Railway (1893–1916), or Gettysburg Railroad (1976–1996).
