RailFest 2023

Model Trains have endured across generations, evoking American nostalgia like nothing else that can fit on one table.

This is the biggest model train show ever. This two-day RailFest features train clubs and individuals from across the state who converge and compare at the Galveston Railroad Museum. Large-sized models chug along the tracks, dipping into tiny tunnels, clattering across mini-bridges, and sometimes leaving a trail of puffs from the little engines that can and should.

All hail the golden age of railroad. In addition to the model trains, visitors will enjoy entertainment, food court, interactive train sims, Depot Marketplace, and access to the museum’s exhibits and real, life-sized vintage and restored rail cars that reside at the site.

Train rides on the Harborside Express will run throughout each day of RailFest!
