About

This unique museum offers guests a chance to see "history under reconstruction." Get up close and personal with a 100 year old steam engine!

Story

Originally known as the Milwaukee Railroad Shops, the Railroad Museum is located along Highway 12 in Sioux City, Iowa.

The 30 acre museum site is nestled in between the scenic Loess Hills and the Big Sioux River. This historical treasure was built in 1917 and was once a large industrial complex that serviced and repaired locomotives and railcars for 65 years.

Only a handful these places still exist in the United States, and after several years of preserving and restoring what has remained, the museum is able to showcase rare artifacts and architecture that represent an important and influential time in our nation’s history.

Combined with the historical atmosphere, The Railroad Museum creates a unique environment for friends and families to learn and enjoy.

We are building tracks for the future!

Great place to bring the kids. Ultra friendly staff give you a short train ride and show you around. Walk into real rail cars and stand right next to the biggest restored steam locomotive you will ever see. Bring a picnic and eat at the tables. Beautiful grounds where the kids can run around and be kids. Truly amazing model railway building with running trains. Wold be 5 stars if there was more to see, but even so it's very impressive.
