Gettysburg & Northern Railroad

The Gettysburg & Northern Railroad offers a unique scenic and historic excursion through Adams County, Pennsylvania, departing from the historic Victorian-era Gettysburg depot and winding through the rolling farmlands and orchards of the Cumberland Valley foothills. The 22-mile round trip to Biglerville passes through orchards, cornfields, and pastoral countryside, offering a window into the agricultural landscape that surrounded the famous Civil War battlefield in July 1863. The railroad uses vintage diesel and steam locomotives and offers a variety of themed excursions, including Civil War commemorative trains, fall apple harvest runs through the orchards of the Adams County fruit belt, and popular Polar Express holiday trains.
