95th NY Monument |
Description: |
Looking northeast from atop the railroad cut, no wonder the 95th, 6th Wisconsin, and 14th Brooklyn were able to pin down the Confederates. |

The Railroad Cut |
Description: |
A present day photo looking west from the beginning of the cut. In 1863, the cut was excavated, but there were no stones, no ties, nor rails. Confederate General Davis' Brigade would have been moving from the right to the left across the cut forcing General Cutler's Brigade to retreat. |

In The Cut |
Description: |
Standing in the cut looking west, you can tell that this was a great defensive position. Unfortunately, you had no where to run if your opponent got to either side of the cut. |

Looking East From The Cut |
Description: |
From the center of the cut, you are now looking East towards the town of Gettysburg. Confederate Gen. Davis' troops eventually took positions in this cut and were picking off the Union advance. Unfortunately, the Union continued to advance until they were on top of the rebel troops who were pinned down in the cut. |
