Brodie the Adelie Penguin

The Galveston Railroad Museum welcomes Brodie to the railyard.  From the Washed Ashore family of sculptures now on view at various Island locations, Brodie brings the message of the importance of environmental mindfulness to protect our precious marine life. We invite you to visit us at 2602 Santa Fe Place to see Brodie and read the informative story board at his side.
