I just got back from Waterloo, and driving around the old Waterloo plant area. I was wondering is the old alley still there were the Streeters were assembled? Alot is changing in this section of Waterloo.

I used to work in the old "M" foundry but moved away from Waterloo in 84 after getting laid off. The old foundry and lots of buildings towards that end of the tractor works were torn down. I was so shocked to see the whole foundry gone on one of my trips back home. I can't say for sure if the street is still there today.

Yeah, there was alot of new business buildings, but you could still see some old buildings that surely were part of the old tractor works. There's a often seen published picture of an industrial model A pulling a rail car down an alley in the 30's. I couldn't find any area that resembled this area when I drove through there last month.

On Westfield Ave. there used to be a large brick building torwards the east end of the tractor works. Across the street from this building there used to be an old building. When you look at the picture you are talking about, that building is on the left side of the picture. Hope this helps you. You have me wondering now, so next October when I go back to Waterloo I will have to check it out.
