Lincoln arrived in Gettysburg by train. 
Unfortunately, you will not have this option.

Passenger trains no longer service Gettysburg. However, if like Lincoln, you prefer to travel by train, there are Amtrak terminals in Harrisburg and Baltimore to get you a little closer to your Gettysburg destination.

Train enthusiasts, history buffs and visitors to Gettysburg won’t be disappointed. Located at 35 Carlisle Street in downtown Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the historic Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station™ tells the story of Lincoln’s arrival, the Gettysburg Address and the importance of the railroad station as the first field hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg and the role it would have and the people it would encounter in the battle's aftermath.
