Round Top Branchとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Round Top Branch was an extension of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad from the Gettysburg borough across the Gettysburg Battlefield to Round Top, Pennsylvania. The branch ran southward from the terminus of the railroad's mainline (junction with the Hanover Junction, Hanover and Gettysburg Railroad north of Meade School), west of the school & the Catholic cemetery, across the field of Pickett's Charge & south Cemetery Ridge, east of Weikert Hill & Munshower Knoll, and through Round Top to between Little Round Top's east base and the Taneytown Rd. In addition to battlefield tourists, the line carried stone monoliths and statues for constructing new monuments during the battlefield's memorial association & commemorative eras, as well as equipment, supplies, and participants for Gettysburg Battlefield camps after the American Civil War (e.g., 1884 Camp Gettysburg, 1913 Gettysburg reunion, 1918 Camp Colt, & 1938 Gettysburg reunion).
