I had been wondering what the future held for this car at the Galveston Rail Museum. Looks like it is for sale. When the museum first opened this one intrigued me. http://galvestondailynews.com/story/254346 Mark Thomas |

The sad part is that rather than even attempting to repair the cars, they are planning to sell them and then use the money to "acquire replacements". They have received quite a bit of FEMA and local $$ to rebuild the museum, but I really don't know where they think that they are going to acquire "replacements" for the historically significant cars that they have. It is not like you can go down to the corner store and buy 70-80 year old private cars, business cars, coaches etc that are in pristine condition. They have done a great deal of cosmetic restoration on the motive power and several of the cars that they use the interiors for display, but I confess that I don't understand what they are doing with regard especially to the business car and the Anacapa. |
