Kayak Train Spotting

Here is something you don’t see everyday.  I was in one of the marshes around Galveston Bay with fishing pole in hand.  As I round a small inlet, I see an American flag flapping in the breeze.  Is it on someone’s boat?  Is there some kind of structure out here?  No, it’s stuck in the water.  I have no idea why.  I think to myself, I should take a picture, this is pretty cool (maybe that’s why it’s there).  As I am reaching for my phone I notice a train heading my way crossing the marsh.  I knew the tracks were there but it’s still pretty wild to see a train cursing between you in the marsh and the bay on the other side.
