Below is a start of a series on the railroad museum. All photos are totally unaltered except with contrast and birghtness.
The sculptures are in the lobby of the Galveston Railroad Museum. They are part of the "Ghosts of Travelers Past" exhibit created by Ivan and Elliot Schwartze, brothers, of New York City many years ago.
These amazingly lifelike figures were made from live models, wrapped in wet plaster to form a mold. With straws for breathing, and wires to hold up their arms, the models remained in place for 5 hours !
