The Siouxland Historical Railroad Association announced its first annual t-shirt fundraising event to benefit the redevelopment of the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District as an industrial heritage and science museum.
Special limited edition “Ironhorse 1355” t-shirts are now available at the historic district’s gift shop and feature a four-color screened “Sioux City’s landmark steam locomotive No. 1355” graphic on the front of a forest green t-shirt. T-shirts are available in adult and youth sizes, including extended sizes for adults.
The vintage t-shirts commemorate the 100th anniversary of the steam locomotives construction and placement into rail passenger service in 1909. The steam locomotive had a distinguished career spanning 46 years pulling many named “signature” passenger trains operated by the Great Northern Railway, including the Oriental Limited, Pacific Fast Mail, and Empire Builder.
All proceeds from the sale of the t-shirts will help fund building renovations and operations of the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District. The Siouxland Historical Railroad Association has a goal of selling 1,355 t-shirts within the next 101 days to help finance the next round of building construction at the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District. Currently under construction is the new model railroad exhibit center. In early spring construction will focus on rehabilitating the machine shop building and summer construction activities will include the installation of a new permanent restroom facility.
