| Built in 1859 by the Hanover Junction Railroad, this old station is one of two that once served the railroads in Gettysburg. It was at this station, now a museum, that President Abraham Lincoln arrived to deliver his famous Gettysburg Address. The tracks to the left of the depot would later become part of the Western Maryland Railway and still see use by CSX Transportation to this day. Note the old semaphores on the roof, once used to give train orders and long since replaced by modern signaling equipment. |
