Walk through sleeping cars, dining cars and a traveling post office across five acres of railyard. See a steam engine and a stock car with a mooing steer.

Inside the restored 1932 depot, meet the Ghosts of Travelers Past: lifelike sculptures of passengers waiting for departures or greeting arrivals. The galleries hold model trains, railroad posters and calendars, a railroad history timeline, dining china and silver. Railroad films play throughout the day.

Start here, then visit other participating Galveston museums for more things to do in Galveston in January.
