May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### As Unique As It Gets Highly recommend this very cool option when staying in Galveston. Unlike anything else, it's an exciting change of pace to for an overnight stay. The railcar is super clean and looks recently refurbished. The staff was over-the-top in efforts to assure we had everything we needed. We stayed during Railfest but any time is a good time for this property. We will definitely be back. ##### DUKE E.

A dining table, one double bed, two bunker beds, a shower and two toilets.There is also a fridge.The museum locked it's gate after business hours but Chris is happy to let you in and out if needed. Just a phone call away.Overall, very present and unique experience.Highly recommend. ##### Dominic T. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arlon H.
