It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the cancellation of this years Santa's Whistle Stop Event, but it is not being canceled for bad reasons. Due upcoming construction projects and the prep work that we need to acomplish before the contractors can start there will not be enough usable space to hold our event this year. We are entering the final phases of our reconstruction efforts and unfortunately this event needs to be canceled so that your visitor experience in the future will be better and more comfortable.
The construction slated to start soon will include our Engineers Tools Shed (main entrance), Car Shops Building, Sand House and south end Water Closet Building. Theses buildings must be emptied and the items currently stored in these buildings will have to be moved into the remaining buildings for temporary storage and protection while the construction is on going.
We thank each and everyone of you for your continued support. And appreciate your understanding of this unfortunate hic-up, but the overall end result will be a wonderful new addition to the overall visitor experience in the very near future.
The museum will still be open for normal daily business so if you were planning on a visit please continue to make your plans to do so. Also, our gift shop will still be open and is being stocked up for the holidays so if you have any gift giving ideas or plans we will still be able to help you out.
From the staff and all the volunteers at The Railroad Museum, Sioux City we wish to extend warm and heartfelt thank you and the best of wishes for the happiest holiday season.
