Description:
The port city of Galveston sits out on a barrier island. That accounts for it being the location of the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The Category 4 hurricane that hit the island in 1900 left 8,000 dead. Eighty five people died when storm waves topped the train cars they were trapped in while they waited for the ferry to carry their cars across. (Never heard of a train ferry. Maybe because it’s a bad idea?) The next deadliest natural disaster, the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, only killed 2,500.

'The Golden Arrow' London to Paris train used to include a ferry trip across the English Channel in which the whole train (without locomotive) was put on the ferry so you got on in London and got out in Paris without being disturbed.
