Galveston Railroad Museum

See more than 35 vintage railroad cars and steam engines that stand on once-active tracks. The historic Santa Fe depot was restored to 1932 art deco style. See an HO-gauge working model of the Port of Galveston with tracks, ships and port activities. A People's Gallery with dozens of life-sized figures (some of which "speak" to visitors) re-creates a busy depot scene of the 1930s. Six multimedia theaters present the history of Galveston shipping, railroading and commerce. Open 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Mon.–Sat. Admission charge. 123 25th St. 888/GAL-ISLE. www.galveston.com.
