I haven't been able to find a complete list of cars for sale at the Galveston Railroad Museum. Does anyone have it? |

I believe most, if not all of the sale cars are listed with DF Barnhardt. As usual with Barnhardt, however, the info about the cars is sketchy at best and sometimes totally incorrect. And I don't believe they are noted as being in Galveston. While many of the sale cars may be worth saving, keep in mind that they have all been under water, and while they don't really look much worse for the experience inside or outside - roller bearings, air brake equipment, etc will be essentially unusable as-is so the cars would not be able to be moved on their own wheels without considerable work and expense. |

Saltwater + carbon steel = greatly shortened life expectancy. And that's sad, because it sure looks like there was some real nice stuff. The NKP Lounge was a real doll once upon a time, and the ATSF superintendents cars were always neat. |
