The Siren Board

Today I drove around Blue Hill Nebraska as I had a hunch they had another siren in addition to their 3t22. I didnt see anything but it was getting dark and I didnt check the whole town.

I went to lunch in Cambell Nebraska and while I know they have a T-121 by the water tower, I had a hunch their old whistle was still up and I was right, I found a Sterling M-3, and it's ACTIVE! It did a 1 pm blast so it's being used for time signalling.

Very nice single headed Model M! They should probably make a motor cover for it, though...

I agree! Great find with that Model M

Thanks. With the iron frame above the siren, im wondering if it had a doghouse over it, was removed to repair the siren, and not put back on.

Today I went a little out of my way to see if Farnam Nebraska's 3T22 was still up. Pulling into town I was greeted by a 14V planted behind the fire hall. It isnt a B model so I suspect it runs off the generator next to it as the fire hall only has a single phase service. Long story short I didnt see the 3T and its tower behind the village office.

Here are some pics from over the summer. All in cook county, IL

That T128 is low as heck! I am guessing it is on a parking garage?

Yeah, it's not low. It's considerably high up but low to whoever is on the top floor
