The video probably was either removed or moved to unlisted, as this thread is about 8 years old...

Same with me. It says it’s unavailable.
I have a thing for objects that light up or make noise.

I apologize for the bump here, but I thought i'd clarify what was said about a dual-toned Whelen
I heard another 1000T or 1003 in that mix, along with a high pitched dual tone siren after the 4/5 TBolt winds down. That could either be a 612, a dual tone 3016, or another 1000T. I don't think an ATI can sound that good. Any idea what the other towns around Battle Creak have?
They have four 1000Ts, 2 EOWS*612s, 1 remaining SD-10 (apparently there's another one but we haven't been able to locate it), 1 RSH-10, 4 ATI HPSS-16Rs, and a few Model 3/5/7s. Nearby Marshall has a Thunderbolt and a whole bunch of SRNs, Tekonsha Has a Federal Electric Type 1 and a model 5, Burlington has a Sterling K-5! Kalamazoo is somewhat close and they have WS-3016s, 2001s of various ages, and a few assorted oddballs such as a Fedelcode model 2 in close proximity to a 3016.
Yea, can confirm that about Kalamazoo. I have no idea though if they have WS-3016. If anyone knows where the 3016s are at lemme know I really wanna spot those

If this SD-10 is in fact still there could someone from the Battle Creek area possibly identify the area around that siren?
Edit: It appears the RSH-10 was installed to replaced the SD-10 ex. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3320826 ... 312!8i6656 and https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3321143 ... 328!8i1664
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

The only SD-10 still remaining is atop Post Foods. The one that the RSH replaced was destroyed by Lightning, which is why the new Thunderbeam has a Lightening Arrestor setup installed on it. The two SD-10s down in the Southern part of the county were moved there from Battle Creek in 2007 after being replaced with ATIs. Those ATIs have actually been somewhat reliable, aside from some small issues here and there. They work well for where they're installed.

Check the Michigan Statewide Siren Map ( https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing ) for the locations of the 3016s. Most of them are inactive at this time if I recall right.

I don't believe asking about the 3016s constituted a bump of this topic, but neither did my response several years ago. I'd recommend leaving this topic alone now that the original discussion is no longer relevant.

I allowed it to be bumped because I thought it added a nugget of relevance. Please leave the moderation to us.
