Histo ry Under Construction... A Railroad Museum-in-the-making! For nearly a century, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops have been standing in a valley nestled between the Loess Hills Bluffs and the Big Sioux River along State Highway 12, Loess Hills National Scenic Byway. Located in the north Riverside area of Sioux City, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops are historically important as one of the nation’s largest surviving collections of buildings and structures associated with a steam locomotive servicing terminal and rail car repair facility. The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were built in 1917 on sixty acres of land. The complex originally consisted of a 30-stall roundhouse with turntable, eighteen backshop buildings, a power plant, two water towers, a wood coal tower, and two sand towers. Today, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops cover 30 acres with a six-stall roundhouse, turntable, four backshop buildings, one wood sand tower and several foundation remnants.

Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District

Sioux Cit y, IOWA 3400 Sioux River Road I-29 Exit 151 • IA Hwy 12 No rth Loess Hills National Scenic Byway

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were originally built to function as workplaces for railroad workers to repair and maintain the Milwaukee Road’s fleet of steam locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars. During its peak years of operations in the 1920s and 1930s, over 500 craft and trades workers serviced and repaired approximately 850 steam locomotives a month and tens of thousands of rail cars a year. The workers were employed in craft professions such as boiler makers, machinists, carpenters, pipefitters, steam fitters, and many other trades. The railroad downsized the complex during the early 1950s when the railroad industry transitioned from steam locomotives to diesel engines. The railroad abandoned the shops in the 1980s and subsequently sold the complex to a local salvage operator. The Siouxland Historical Railroad Association bought the complex in 1996 and began its historic preservation work to transform the Milwaukee Railroad Shops into a railroad museum. In converting the Milwaukee Railroad Shops to a railroad museum, the volunteer developers are preserving the features of the roundhouse and other structures to give visitors an understanding of what work went on in the buildings and why this site has historic significance. The Milwaukee Railroad Shops are designated a historic district eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and are recognized as an official project of the Save America Treasures Program. The railroad shops are home to Sioux City’s iconic steam locomotive, Great Northern Railway No. 1355.

every Saturday to see the matinee. I knew this wasn’t going to be nearly as much fun as seeing Superman fighting the Mole Men at the Beacon. We entered the office and I took a seat while my mother talked to the receptionist. The first thing I noticed was a distinctly medicine-like smell. Not a good sign, I thought to myself thinking back to getting shots in the doctor’s office. Smells a lot like a doctor’s office. Hmmmmmm. I looked around for an escape route but my mother came over and grabbed my arm saying, “It’s time to see the doctor.” “Doctor?” I stammered. “I thought you said this guy was a dentist.” “He’s a doctor who works on teeth,” she explained. As I pondered that last statement I was led into a bright room with a big, funny-looking chair. A nurse was with us and she told me to, “Hop up in that chair, young man.” I got in the chair but I didn’t hop. Even at that young age I was a rebel. Then she put a bib on me. Oh good, I thought, I am getting a little hungry. I was about to order a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when the doctor/dentist walked in. “Good morning young man and Mom,” he said. “And how are you today?” I was about to tell him I’d be fine if I wasn’t here but before I could answer he pushed the chair back so I was looking at the ceiling. Then he grabbed a fist full of tools and a mirror and told me to, “Open wide.” I reluctantly opened my mouth and suddenly he had fingers and tools all jammed inside my gapping pie hole. As he worked around in there he would occasionally make a comment like “Ah ha.” or “Hmmmm.” After a few minutes of this he said, “Well, Mrs. Turner it looks like Terry has a cavity that needs to be filled. “We’ll take care of that and you’ll be on your way,” he said patting me on the shoulder. He then moved an ominous looking device into position next to me I was to soon learn was a drill. “OK,” he said as he bent over me, “now I’m going to put something on your tooth

so you won’t feel anything.” After seeing that drill I thought that might be a very good idea. He stuffed my mouth with cotton balls which I’m sure made me look like a lopsided chipmunk. While we were waiting for what I now assume to be Novocain he gave me some exciting news. “My father owns the hobby shop next door and if you tell him you were in here you get a discount,” he said. I looked at my mother who was sitting in the corner. I smiled and tried to mouth the word “pleeeeease” without spitting out the cotton balls. She smiled back and nodded. Once the Novocain took effect Dr. Carr proceeded to drill out the cavity and replace it with a filling. All the while I was thinking about that hobby shop. I loved model airplanes and cars. I couldn’t wait to get in there. The tooth was filled in no time and I felt great with the exception that I couldn’t feel anything on one side of my face but I didn’t care. We were going to a hobby shop. We went out to the reception room again where my mother paid for the procedure. I couldn’t wait to get to next door. We finally left the dentist’s office and entered the magical world of the hobby shop. It was filled from floor to ceiling with every type of model plane and car available. I was in heaven. I picked out a model plane. It was a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk with a paint scheme used by the Flying Tigers of WWII fame. I couldn’t wait to get home and put it together. Since that time I’ve never been afraid to go to a dentist. I’m sure my lack of fear of dentists was a combination of Dr. Carr’s skill and the fact that I was going to the hobby shop. That combination made that first trip to the dentist a pleasant experience and it’s stayed with me for all those years. Now if I could just get my dentist today to put in a hobby shop next door I’d really enjoy getting my teeth checked.

Cover story

‘It was a really tough time’ Fitch helped land crippled jet in 1989 By DON BABWIN Associated Press‌

CHICAGO | Airline pilot Denny Fitch was hitching a ride home on a DC-10 in 1989 when heard an explosion somewhere in the back of the jet. He soon made his way to the cockpit to see if the crew needed help. Inside, he found three men desperately trying to keep the giant plane in the air after losing all hydraulic Dennis Fitch power needed to control direction and altitude. Fitch took a seat in the only space available — the floor — and helped operate some of the only equipment still working — the wing engines — to try to land the aircraft carrying nearly 300 people. Fitch, who died Monday at 69, used everything he knew about flying to confront an emergency that engineers never imagined could happen to a modern jetliner. When the crippled plane crashlanded in Sioux City, Iowa, more than half of the passengers survived — one of the most admired life-saving efforts in aviation history. After the accident, aviation experts P10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

Sioux City Journal file

In this July 19, 1989, file photo, emergency workers treat injured passengers following the crash landing of a United Airlines DC-10 jet that killed 111 people at Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa. Dennis Fitch, of St. Charles, Ill., the pilot who happened to be a passenger and helped save 184 people after the crash, died May 7, 2012, after suffering from brain cancer. He was 69.

conducted simulations in which test pilots and trainer pilots tried to land similarly stricken aircraft. “I’m not aware of any that replicated the success these guys had,” said Mike Hamilton, a United pilot who flew with Fitch. None of the simulator pilots were able to make a survivable landing. “Most of the simulations never even made it close to the ground,” Hamilton said. More than two decades later, the teamwork of Fitch and the others on the flight deck is still a model for the industry. “To be one of those pilots, they are all heroes, and he played in instrumental role in saving all those lives,” said Susan Callander, a flight attendant on United Flight 232. “What they all did, all working together as a team, now for the rest of history

will be part of the training” of flight crews. Fitch, who had suffered from brain cancer, died at his home in the Chicago suburb of St. Charles. His role began with a small, seemingly meaningless decision he never understood: to get on Flight 232 instead of another flight scheduled to depart five minutes earlier on July 19. Sitting in a window seat in the last row of first class, Fitch had just finished his lunch and asked for a cup coffee. Suddenly, the explosion spilled his coffee. As an instructional pilot, he had just spent days training fellow airmen for every conceivable kind of problem — hydraulic failure, immovable flaps, fires and more. He tried to assure a worried flight attendant that everything was going to be fine. “She said, ‘No, you don’t under-

stand, we’ve lost control of the plane,’” Fitch’s widow, Rosa, said Wednesday. The engine in the plane’s tail had exploded, sending chunks of metal into the jet’s three hydraulic systems. What the crew knew was this: The only thing they could do was turn right by using the engines to vary the amount of thrust on each side. So for more than 40 minutes, the aircraft flew in circles as it aimed for the Sioux City airport. Al Haynes, the captain who understood as well as anyone the danger of the situation, asked air traffic controllers to keep the jet away from the city. In an interview for a documentary about the crash, Fitch talked about how his life, anybody’s life, can change in an instant. “What makes you so sure you’re going to make it home tonight?” he

said. “I was 46 years old the day I walked into that cockpit. I had the world ahead of me. I was a captain on a major U.S. airline. I had a beautiful healthy family, loving wife, great future. And at 4 o’clock I’m trying to stay alive.” High above the cornfields, the pilots knew the difficulty of their task. Without the flight-control systems, their landing would be about twice the normal speed. As the plane made its final descent, Fitch recalled hearing and smelling everything. “I’ve never been so alive in my life,” he said for a newspaper story marking the 15th anniversary of the crash. Just above the runway, the right wing plowed into the ground, sending the jet into a terrifying cartwheel and tearing the fuselage into three chunks as it skidded across the pavement into a cornfield — a scene that was captured on video. Most of those who were killed were in the first-class area where Fitch had been seated before he went to the cockpit. Fitch suffered several broken bones, a punctured lung and other injuries that required nine operations, Rosa Fitch said.

Flight 232 pilot The emotional scars were even deeper. “To find out that 112 people didn’t make it, that just about destroyed me,” he once said. “I would have given my life for any of them. It was a really tough time.” Fitch became a motivational speaker, who advised others that they should let their family and friends know how much they’re loved. Fitch, whose first wife died of brain cancer in the late 1990s, met Rosa in March 2000, when the two were working — he as a pilot and she as flight attendant — on an overseas flight. “When I got home, the phone was

took his own advice throughout their marriage. “He couldn’t pass me without hugging me or telling me how much he loved me,” she said. Besides his wife, Fitch’s survivors include three grown children, two stepchildren and 10 grandchildren. May 2012 | P11

Fraternal order has served since 1889 By JOANNE FOX Prime staff writer‌

SIOUX CITY | Gathering deer hides seems an appropriate task for one Siouxland organization with an animal name. But the Sioux City Elks Lodge No. 112, established locally in 1889, does so much more for the community it represents. With more than 850,000 members and 2,000 Lodges nationwide, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, or BPOE, or Elks Lodge, or simply the Elks is an American fraternal order and social club founded nationally in 1868. Bill Hanson, current Exalted Ruler, joined the lodge in 2009. “My brother had been a member for 18 years previous,” he said. “I was always impressed with the work the Elks did for members of our military and the needy of our community.” Hunters who bag a buck or doe may help disabled veterans with the donation of their deer hides to the Elks, Hanson explained. “The deer hide program is a great event we conduct every year,” he said “We treat every donated hide and then transport them to the tanning facility where one tanned hide in every four donated is delivered to the veterans homes across the country and there, the veterans make items that they sell for fundraising events.” Hanson called the Elks P12 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

Christmas basket program, “one of the most gratifying events we conduct.” “We start by collecting donated items to be auctioned off the first Saturday of December,” he said. “We then take the proceeds from the auction and purchase enough food to fill approximately 300 baskets with a retail value of $125. We also add mittens and stuffed animals for every home that has children.” The Elks Lodge has been the kick-off sponsor for the drug awareness program in Siouxland schools for as long as anyone can remember, Hanson noted. “We distribute thousands of red ribbons and drug awareness materials every year to the area youth and have a kickoff celebration at the Long Lines Recreation Center where we rent the facility and provide pizza and prizes to all in attendance,” he said.

Drive by the Route 66 museum By TERRY TURNER Prime staff writer‌

SANTA ROSA, N.M. – For James Cordova what started as a hobby has grown into a passion. Cordova who’s affectionately known around Santa Rosa as “Bozo” has a passion for cars and for the famed highway that runs through his town. Route 66 that originally ran from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif., is still an important part of Santa Rosa. Even as a young boy growing up in Santa Rosa Cordova was fascinated by cars and anything associated with

them. He started building model cars at a very young age. “I built my first model car when I was six years old,” remembered Cordova. “It was a ’49 Ford.” He continued his passion for cars as an adult and began repairing and restoring them. Eventually he opened his own business on Route 66 appropriately called, Bozo’s Garage. Along with restoring his customer’s vehicles he also did a few of his own. Terry Turner, Sioux City Journal Kirk and Terri Sidener and their son Gabriel of Los Osos, Calif., look over a 1931 Chevy race Actually it was more than a few.
