Neat Experience
Was a unique fun time. Kids thought was so fun to step back in history. The people taking care of the Railway cars and Museum were so kind and nice. Helped us in many ways. Would highly recommend.

Great night in the museum.
Excellent night in the train museum in the Silver Foot train car. Was a perfect last night for our Galveston vacation. Most comfortable bunk bed ever! A definite great experience for train lovers.
