On our trip this winter, we spent a day in Galveston, TX. Galveston was seriously hurt by Hurricane Ike last fall. The railroad museum was flooded to the level of 12 feet or more (pictures in Trains, recently) and rolling stock was seriously damaged.
Galveston has a tourist "trolley" operation. There is a lot of in-street track and a car shed near the railroad museum. There is no overhead, so I suspect they run by gas. The pictures I saw looked a bit like the new red cars in New Orleans. I didn't go up to the shed and I didn't see any running.
So can anyone give and current details of how the system is making out?
