Forest City and Gettysburg Railroad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Forest City and Gettysburg Railroad was a small, short-lived railroad that ran between the South Dakota towns of Forest City and Gettysburg, a distance of 19 miles. The line was constructed in 1890 and abandoned in 1911. Small segments of the former railroad grade remain visible today because of the drought that is currently going on, and the line's former western terminus at Forest City is now beneath the waters of Lake Oahe.
