'It's been amazing to watch the labor of love and sweat equity that was put in by volunteers, contractors and with the community support with donations and that. They put in tens of thousands of hours to bring this site back after the catastrophic damage done by the flood in June,' said Larry Obermeyer, the President of the Sioux City Railroad Museum. If you missed Saturday's event, the Sioux City Railroad Museum is open Thursday through Sunday, and admission is free. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
