}}Round Top Station was the southernmost station of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad and was located west of a blacksmith shop along the Taneytown Road that was in operation in 1880.[1]

History

Despite the 1882 survey of a rail route from the "H. J., H. and G. Railroad" to Round Top, Pennsylvania,[2] for the Round-Top Railroad Company,[3] the competing G&H RR purchased property from Lewis A. Bushman in April 1884 for excursions (Little Round Top Park), and their Round Top Branch was instead being constructed in May 1884.[4] The station warehouse was completed June 21, 1884[5] (burned February 22/23, 1889;[6] rebuilt by August 1891);[8] and to the rear of the warehouse[7] in 1894 on a different railway from the west, the Gettysburg Electric Railway began trolley operations[10] The railroad-owned property along the north side of Wheatfield Rd extended eastward from the railway and had frontage along the Taneytown Rd at the corner,[8] site of the 1895 Ollie Rouzer[9] blacksmith shop.[10] The north-south steamtrain railbed at Round Top became the east edge of the Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP), which is adjacent to the private tracts along the Taneytown Road; and between 1904 and 1916 a siding was created at the station. The station operated until {{circa|1942}} when the branch's abandonment application was filed.[11]
