Tourist train that ran briefly around Houston, Texas, shown here in 1991. Lead engine is ex-SP I think. Anyone know where this stuff ended up?

At the Transportation Museum in Galveston. It is still painted in it's Texas Limited livery.

There was talk of reviving the train as a baseball train to bring folks from Galveston to the new ballpark in downtown Houston (now Minutemaid Field), but I believe the tracks were torn up as part of the construction; dashing any hopes that would occur.
