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.

Great night in the museum.

Excellent night in the train museum in the Silver Foot train car. Was a perfect last night for our Galveston vacation. Most comfortable bunk bed ever! A definite great experience for train lovers.

Neat Experience

Was a unique fun time. Kids thought was so fun to step back in history. The people taking care of the Railway cars and Museum were so kind and nice. Helped us in many ways. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful and unique stay

This is a very unique, one in a life time experience staying in a historic train carriage.We stayed at Silver Foot which located inside the museum.Check in is easy and David and Chris were extremely friendly and helpful.The carriage has almost everything a 5 star hotel has. 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.
