Money Raised for New Iowa Rail Museum Exhibit
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) -- A fundraising group has put together enough money for a new exhibit at the Union Pacific Railroad Museum in Council Bluffs.

Museum executive director Beth Lindquist says the Friends of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum raised more than $50,000 for the "America Travels by Rail" exhibit. They exceeded the goal of $40,000. The exhibit is to be on display on the south side of the top floor of the museum.

Lindquist says the Chicago company Proto Productions is making the exhibit walls and panels. She says installation should begin July 7 and a grand opening is planned for August.
