Gettysburg PA train service

Trains Magazine General Discussion
1

I noted on a recent trip to Gettysburg PA they are served by the CSXT Railroad the rail is all jointed so I am wondering how many trains pass thru in one day? They are served by a short line but I did not see their track.

I live just outside of town. The CSX runs 1 to 2 trains a day. They run from the Hagerstown, Md yard to York, Pa. The CSX usually run from 3 to 5 SD50’s depending on the weight ot the train. Their is a small yard in Gettysburg. The shortline is a senic railroad that runs from Gettysburg, north to Mount Holly Springs. They have a GP7 and f7’s as their motive power.

Several owners ago.

No more tourist/passenger service, but they still use their Fs for hauling freight, last I heard.
