1 April 2018 Silvis News Visual treats of locomotive heaven The Quiet Giant At the north end of town sits an enormous building constructed in 1903 full of rail road history. This spring I was granted unprecedented access to National Railway Equipment Company also know as NRE. The visual delights I experienced would make the modest of train enthusiast s mouth water with excitement. Guiding my personal hour and a half long tour was the General Manager, Pat Murphy. Inside the halls of this massive six plus acre facility once occupied by the Rock Island lines as a equipment repair facility, I soon became overwhelmed with the visual treats of locomotive heaven. Looking at the outside, you may think this must be where locomotives come to die. Contrary, rebirth is about to begin for these old iron horses. National Railway Equipment is the largest employee-owned locomotive repair and refurbishing company in North America. NRE purchased the Silvis facility in 1990, and their corporate headquarters is located in Mt. Vernon, IL. NRE has several repair and specialty shop locations throughout the United States including Silvis, IL; Milwaukee, WI; Houma, LA; Paducah, KY; Calgary, AB; with satellite offices in Australia, Croatia, Africa, India, and the UK. NRE s reach spans the globe, and the list of services are seemingly endless: manufacturing New to complete locomotive overhauls, black box recording systems, dynamic braking controls, and the list goes on and on. Murphy explained, the locomotive industry is going through a cycle, and NRE has recently emerged out of a two year low. For several years government incentives drove the market towards new locomotives purchase. Although lacking any substantial government incentives recently. Buyers are now looking Continue pg. 2 1
2 Continued from page 1 towards the used market as a cost saving measure. Nearly four million dollars is the going rate for a new locomotive, says Murphy. On the other hand, a qualified locomotive rebuilt unit would run in the neighborhood of one hundred and fifty thousand to half a million dollars, and that s with todays technology. Furthermore, he elaborated, many of the newer and much larger locomotives are too heavy for many of the nations aging tracks. Additional track upgrades are also a must to run the newer and much heavier locomotives. Thus this can be a niche market for NRE by producing reduced weighing locomotives if needed. Overall, purchasing an remanufactured locomotive built for current track conditions adds to NRE S share in the market. What is the life expectancy of new versus used? Forever really the some minor upgrades, but for the Class One Railroads, it s generally years depending on service, and then they would be overhauled-remanufactured says Murphy. As the market swings towards used locomotives within the past year business is picking up and NRE is looking to expand their work force. We currently have 56 employees at our Silvis location says Murphy, further, we are looking to expand that number considerably. We are looking for general laborers, electricians, pipe fitters and welders. People that want to come to work, and make decent pay with great benefits. For further information about NRE please visit By Matt Carter Did you know Silvis has a full service bicycle repair and sales shop? Timothy and Loree Phlypo opened Let s Ride on August 8 th, 2010 and their customer base has been growing ever since. In 1972 Tim started riding. Over the years his passion grew into first a job then his own business. Continuous riding has helped him recover from a few hip replacements, bicycles are his life.

3 Cooperative Effort Helps Beautify the Downtown Silvis Main Street, the City of Silvis, Silvis Garden Club and 1st Avenue business owners worked together last summer to enhance the look of the downtown. Silvis Main Street and the City bought 8 huge cement planters last spring. The Silvis Garden Club purchased soil, donated and planted over 80 plants. While Silvis Garden Club fertilized and deadheaded all the plants, the most important job was done by the First Avenue business owners who agreed to water the planters daily. It couldn t have been possible without the downtown businesses commitment to help. We would like to recognize their efforts: Brian at Avenue Tap, Jose & Maria at El Pueblo Mexican Grill, Silvis Library youth group, employees at San Luis Food Market, employees at QC Custom Tees, Flora Cantu of Salon El Molino, employees at Quad City Bar and Stool, and Travis of Water World Aquatics. Thank you! By Kathy Hall 3

5 Silvis Fire Department News In 2018, the City of Silvis Fire Department is celebrating it s 110 th year of service to the citizens, businesses, and visitors of Silvis. Eighteen men started the department in These men felt a strong duty to their neighbors and friends. A duty to help them in their times of need. That duty still holds strong today. Currently, Silvis has 30 paid-on-call Firefighters. Each of these Firefighters have taken on the role because they feel it is their duty to help in the time of dire need. The small pay check is not why they choose to be members of the department. They did not choose to be part of the fire department for fame and glory. They joined the department to fulfill a need to the community. Our Firefighters have full-time jobs, are students, or are retired. They take time away from their families, get woke up in the middle of the night, and spend several evenings a month training. Their commitment to their duties is unparalleled. Two of our newest Firefighters are Guadalupe Lupe Vargas and Ashley Engh. For many years, the role of a Firefighter was deemed to be a man s job. Over the last 20 years, that mentality has started to change. In % of Firefighters in the United States were women. Lupe and Ashley make up 6.7% of the Silvis Fire Department roster. They prove that firefighting is not a man s job. They do the same thing that any male Firefighter is required to do. And they do it very well! If you are interested in becoming a Firefighter for the City of Silvis, please contact the Chief at or stop by the station at th Street from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday to pick up an application.
