Union Pacific Donates $1 million to Nau Center HOUSTON – The Union Pacific Foundation donated $1 million to the Nau Center for Texas Cultural Heritage, the railroad announced in a news release. The grant is the largest the railroad has ever made in Texas and will support the “Engines of Progress” railroad interactive experience exhibit that is currently being built at the museum. Thanks to Union Pacifics generous gift, guests will leave the Nau Center with a firm understanding of both the historical and modern importance of the railroad industry in Southeast Texas, says John Nau, Chairman of the Nau Center Board of Directors. The centerpiece of the new exhibit will be Southern Pacific 2-10-2 No. 982 which will be outfitted with special effects to simulate a train coming into a station. The Nau Center for Texas Cultural Heritage preserves the history of southeast Texas through interactive exhibits and is located in downtown Houston.
