Railroad Museum in Fort Bend County Texas. There is an eight-minute film that gives an overview of the eight railroads that once traversed Fort Bend County. Artifacts and photos from these railroads are exhibited there, as well as historic photos from the area. There are some great images of the December 1924 snowfall, and an image of a train literally blown off the tracks by the 1900 hurricane. There are objects used by employees in the depots, in the railyards, and along the tracks, as well as job titles and descriptions of many long-gone occupations. We also have photographs of nearly every depot that served Fort Bend County. There are also buttons, badges, tools, lamps, lanterns, china and flatware, locks and keys, brochures and timetables - and so much more.
