Post subject:  GN1355 Update

Great Northern 4-6-2 No. 1355 Restoration work will hopefully restart later this year.<p>Our organization had to submit an application to the State Historical Society of Iowa, seeking to have the locomotive named to the National Register of Historic Places (Landmarks).<p>We have two grants that have been awarded and total $73,000. One grant is a $58,000 ISTEA grant and the other is a $14,000 State of Iowa grant.In order for us to access these funds GN 1355 needs to be "determined eligible" for listing on the National Register.<p>The National Register nomination process is very time consuming but a worthwhile process. If you are with an organization that is receiving or going to receive TEA-21 and ISTEA funds, you need to read your grant guidelines about your project being eligible for the National Register.<br>
