The Siren Board

While reading the "Best Nuclear Siren" topic the Trojan power plant was brought up which got me interested in the old system and I came upon this article about the old system. I thought I would share this because I think that some of you may find it interesting as I did.

Very informative article. Thank you for posting this! At first, I didn't know that there were 191 sirens in the original system, but I knew that the sirens that remain in Cowlitz county today were declared surplus. I will have to look deeper into the Oregon side of the Trojan EPZ.

Awesome!!!! The ones that are in longview can be bought. I have (or had) a copy of the pge transfer. Its cool considering it officially says: these items are now longviews'. Considering that only a VERY small portion remains and it already seems like it would be an epic ambience... what would the original sound like? You know?
EDIT: Yea you know why they were declared surplus? Because of me. Hours of back and forth between PGE and longview and I finally got a copy of the paper from PGE, sent it to them and they said "Okay we will have a meeting about it" and once they did they sent me the details of that meeting and that was that. Unfortunately the reason I didn't buy one was because I didn't have the $200 at the time and also by the time that one came down I already had mine from Waldport. However... Last I heard from nancy of public works... there were 2 buyers who finally took the 2 that came down.
EDIT AGAIN: Thank you for posting that FS!!!! Was a good read!

Siren is still on streetview:

Most were Thunderbolts, Model 2's and 5's, and STH-10's, plus at least one Allertor.

Do you know any of the former/current locations of the sirens? Other than the ones in Longview, Kelso, and Kalama?

I think I found the allertor... But idk... Saint helens apparently had one that did a noon blast for a while there. Ranier I guess had a few. I will let Daniel elaborate more but I recall him saying there were a couple of bolts at a fire station and a few little guys around here in oregon.

Yeah yeah, 6 year old thread bump. I come bearing news though. A Trojan map from 1981 has been found thanks to newspapers!

I’m assuming all those dots are siren locations?

I know I'm kinda reviving this thread, but I found this pdf with 186 of Trojan's sirens, with MORE detail. What I mean by that is that it has the siren's number, the db @100 ft, and if the siren rotates or not. You will find this on pg. 125.

Now to the main point, scroll all the way down to page 116. You're going to have to play connect 4 with the 6 maps and place them to get the full map like me. 2a and 2b are great for the siren locations in Longview and Kelso!

I got most of Trojan's sirens mapped out. I plan on getting the map out by the end of this month. I had no idea how old this map is, but it truly seems to get the job done... hopefully.
