Hopefully, someone will update the information for you. If not, at least you have some info to help further your research. I sincerely hope this will be helpful!

DannyMac Posted January 15, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2008 There is no Amtrak service to Galveston. There was talk of restarting some kind of train service to Galveston but I don't think anything came of it. I live in the area and there has been no publicity concerning the train service concept.

betcat Posted January 17, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The Amtrak station is about a good rock throw from the port in Mobile. If you have a bit of luggage it might be a 2.00$ dollar cab fare(haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone0314 Posted January 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Too Bad too. I think the old train station in Galveston is about two blocks from the cruise terminal. If I am not mistaken, I think it was turned into a museum??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgun8 Posted January 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Amtrak website lists two spots in Galveston??? One is at 25th and strand. But it says it is a Bus throughway service, so it means you jump on a bus from some other station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
