We are pleased to announce that the St. Louis Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) has awarded us a $3,000 grant towards our restoration of the Indiana Northern #4's cab! This grant will help pay for additional tools and materials which will aid AIRS in the completion of this project.

The #4 represents a spot in St. Louis' railroad heritage as one of the last steam locomotives to operate in the area, as gravel pits west of the city along the Meramec River held out using steam power until the early 1960's. #4 would call St. Louis home for over 40 years, and we are happy to have an artifact which can help represent the history of multiple cities across the Midwest, including the Gateway to the West!
