That's quite a replacement you got there.

The town probably grew, so they needed a larger siren.

I highly doubt a borough with a population that's dropped by about 40% since 1970 really needs a 16V1T-B.

Um near Inverness IL I think.

I have some pictures from when I went to Seneca Lake, NY. Apparently, this P-15 does not go off for noon tests, or weekly tests. I don't know if it is part of a NPP system, as some fire departments in the area lack a siren, or once had a siren. Such is seen with the Interlaken FD, as now only part of the rotation mounting remains (I thought it was a mystery siren at first):

Southern Missouri, the land of federal signal. Mostly old, some new.

That's about it for now. I have more pictures somewhere but I will have to dig them up and upload them to photobucket.

While on a road trip last week, I decided to make a real quick stop at the South End of Toledo, Ohio to photograph a rare siren.

This is what I saw once a rounded a corner on City Park Avenue in this more devastated area of the city, a "Naked" and dead H.O.R Super Sirex atop of an old building

This is an area that ain't so friendly, which explains why this building is pretty much blown out. This building was formerly a factory, but now the first floor is owned and used by Product Forwarding Corporation. The upper levels, including the siren, have been abandoned for many years. Making this the second Super Sirex confirmed to be abandoned and left out of Lucas County's siren system. (The other being on Bush St.)

Look closely and you can see the 10/10 rotors, which have been exposed to the environment for the longest time.

Not really much but walking through a cattle pen at work this morning I came across this in an unused water tub. Didn't see a tag on it and no it doesn't spin.

Not really much but here are the controls for a 3v8. Sorry, wasn't able to get a pic of the siren.
