the last building on the East Moline plant site, front office building, was tore down and hauled away in about August 2006. Not exactly sure what East Moline plans to do with the site. I lived in East Moline till 1989. I suspect when E. Moline gets some money they will extend the Ben Butterworth Parkway along the river further up river. Just checked Google Earth mmaps, property still vacant.
Last week of January, all of Febuary, and first week or so of March 1977 I worked on the Big Shear line out in the unheated steel stores of the E. Moline plant, just feet from the Mississippi river bank. One week it was so cold, well below zero the 2nd shift forman walked around pouring water on bundles of steel and timed it till it froze solid, took 7-8 seconds. One Friday night 2nd shift and Saturday day 1st shift, my partner and I shoved just over 80,000# of steel thru our 8 ft Cinncinati shear, was the front axle for 815 & 915 combines, held the drive gearboxes.
