All Aboard!! All museum exhibits are open throughout the event. Ranked as one of the top 5 railroad museums in the nation, the Center for Transportation and Commerce, situated on a 5 acre railyard, features one of a kind restored historic trains, projects in process, exhibits from the permanent collection, plus films and presentations in the auditorium. Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Galveston on The Strand, it’s an easy walk to anywhere downtown.
