The Railroad Museum – Sioux City, operated by the Siouxland Historical Railroad Association, announced today an online fundraising campaign to raise $60,000 for a miniature railroad.
The Siouxland Historical Railroad Association intends to... build and install a Miniature Railroad at its Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District location in Sioux City. The Miniature Railroad will feature a classic-style, 3-inch grand scale, miniature park train that will run on a 1.5-mile rail line constructed of 15-inch gauge tracks.
Anyone wishing to make a tax-deducible donation may do so by visiting the museum’s crowd funding web site The website contains information, photos, and video of the project concept. http://www.razoo.com/story/
A local business leader has kicked off the fundraising raising campaign by providing a major gift to purchase the locomotive and passenger cars. The remaining funds are needed for the materials and supplies to build the railroad tracks upon which the train will run.

| This is a picture of a locomotoive and an observation car similar to the train set we are purchasing. Our train set will include the locomotive, two 12 seat passanger coaches and a 12 seat observation car. The observation car will also feature two slots that will be compatable for wheel chair access. The below pictures show the Milwuakee Road paint scheme that the train set will actually have. This is the same paint scheme that the Milwaukee Road's Midwest Hiawatha that once serviced Sioux City had. |
