The Gettysburg and Northern Railroad is owned by railroad holding company Pioneer Railcorp.[1] HistoryThe railroad was built in the late 19th century and opened in 1891 as the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railway. The line was later leased to the Reading Railroad and operated as the "Gettysburg Branch." The bankrupt Reading Railroad became part of Conrail in 1976, however the Gettysburg Branch was left out of the Conrail system. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation took over the branch and sold the line to a new company, the Blairsville & Indiana Railroad, in 1976; this company changed its name to Gettysburg Railroad.[2] In 1996, the Gettysburg Railroad was sold to RailAmerica subsidiary Delaware Valley Railroad Company, which operated the line as the Gettysburg Railway.[3] In 2001, the Gettysburg Railway was sold to Pioneer Railcorp and the Gettysburg and Northern Railroad took over operations.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Gettysburg & Northern Railroad|publisher=Pioneer Railcorp|url=http://www.pioneer-railcorp.com/get.html|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite book |title=American Short Line Railway Guide |last=Lewis |first=Edward A. |year=1996 |publisher=Kalmbach |location=Milwaukee, WI |isbn=0-89024-290-9 |page=134 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=kav09ZpkS6YC&lpg=PP1&dq=american%20shortline%20railway%20guide&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false|edition=5th |accessdate=}} 3. ^{{cite web| author=U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission| url=http://www.secinfo.com/dsVsf.83By.htm| title=Report Form 10-K: RailAmerica, Inc.,| year=1996}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Pioneer Railcorp-Continuance in Control Exemption-Gettysburg & Northern Railroad Co.|publisher=Surface Transportation Board|date=February 27, 2001|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2001/02/27/01-4739/pioneer-railcorp-continuance-in-control-exemption-gettysburg-and-northern-railroad-co|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} External links{{Portal|Railways}}
