Siren Hunt in Georgia & South Carolina

Mon Dec 30, 2013 12:39 am

On December 27, 2013. I went siren hunting in Georgia. I also photographed the refurbished Thunderbolt 1000 in The Rock, GA.

Anyway, here are photos taken on December 27, 2013:

^Refurbished Federal Sign And Signal Thunderbolt 1000 located in The Rock, GA right next to the old railroad tracks (train tracks).

^Whelen WPS 2804 located in Barnsville, GA near to a gas station.

After siren hunting in GA, the next day Brendan W. wanted to siren hunt in South Carolina with me.
So, here are some photos I taken on that siren hunt on December 28, 2013 (on my birthday!):
