The Horse Railroad (foreground) extended to the Springs Hotel (background) crossing Willoughby Run near the Katalysine Springs (right).
The Gettysburg Spring Railroad[1] (Springs Horse Railway)[2] was a Gettysburg Battlefield tourist conveyance in the Battle of Gettysburg, First Day, area. The trolley extended from the western terminus on the east side of Herr Ridge at the Gettysburg Springs Hotel eastward to the Gettysburg borough after crossing Willoughby Run, McPherson Ridge, Pitzer Run, Seminary Ridge, Stevens Run (stone bridge),[3] to the slopes of Baltimore Hill where it turned northward at the borough square to end at the Gettysburg Railroad Station. In addition to a stop at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, by 1879 [4] the horse railroad had a stop near Pitzer Run at the "Trotting Park" which was replaced after 1904[5] with a horse track east of Stevens Run at the county fairgrounds (now the Gettysburg Recreation Park).
