Descriptions of the construction progress of my new Florida model railroad featuring the line from Lakeland to Punta Gorda. Originally a journal of RV trips throughout the United States and Canada with Patti and Bob. Also photo documentation of the progress on my Maryland model railroad, the Allegheny and Shenandoah, a mythical class one line connecting Strasburg VA. with Elkins WV.

Galveston Ferry
There is a ferry at the Galveston harbor entrance that, according to their web site, is "in lieu" of a bridge. They have several ferries and they run 24/7. Scarlett and about 40 other vehicles traveled across the harbor entrance, a distance of about 4 miles in about 20 minutes. What a gas! We took the ferry from the Port Arthur side to avoid the traffic in Houston and to save about 50 miles. We saw about 30 large freighters and numerous barges in the vicinity of the harbor. Galveston is a very busy place.
