The Sioux City Railroad Museum has been awarded a $1.93 million grant from the National Park Service to aid in the museum’s continuing recovery from major flood damage in June 2024.

The money is in the form of an NPS Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund Disaster Grant for recovery efforts and mitigation of the threat of future disasters.. . . .

More than $1 million of the grant will be directed to restoration of Great Northern 4-6-2 No. 1355, which the museum and the American Heartland Railroad Society plan to restore to operation. Other funds will go toward restoration of a diesel locomotive, the museum’s roundhouse and turntable, and other tracks at the facility.
