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] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.landisvalleymuseum.org/tour_bs.htm |title=Tour Landis Valley Museum |publisher=Landisvalleymuseum.org |date= |accessdate=2012-01-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727013507/http://www.landisvalleymuseum.org/tour_bs.htm |archivedate=2011-07-27 |df= }} 2. ^{{Cite news |date=June 17, 1957 |title=Out of the Past: Seventy-Five Years Ago |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=908mAAAAIBAJ&sjid=V_8FAAAAIBAJ&pg=2412,996535&dq=saw-mill+round-top+gettysburg&hl=en |accessdate=2011-04-26 |quote=Joseph S.
