Sirens of Hudson County, NJ

There are multiple records of a siren system being in place in Hudson County, NJ (Across the river from NYC). There is a single audio recording I have found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tylL0RNCE6Y
I thought they were Modulators sounding in wail, but realized they were likely ATIs when I heard the wind-up after each wind-down.
Does anyone have pictures or videos of these sirens (and before you asked, yes I used the search feature).

Listen to this similar recording of the long-gone MHPSS sirens at the WTC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nY4CqZrt8

They are HPSS-32s as far as I know. I was looking around in NJ on SV and happened to find one near a train yard/station.

No sadly. It was a long time ago, before I was really involved with this board. All I know is that it was near a train yard and it was a HPSS-32.
EDIT: Just found out that they go off every day at 8pm.

This must be the train yard siren you found. It is at the downtown Hoboken PATH station. I may try to record this soon. 8PM is a bit late for sirens though...

Yep that's the one I found. I'm not 100% sure they do an 8pm, but a Northern Hudson County resident said on Reddit that they go off every day at 8pm.

I used to live there. There are 31 HPSS-32s, 4 Whelen 2900s part of a power plant, and a Thunderbolt 2000 as a former fire siren. The HPSS-32s were decommisioned. Here is a map of them: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing
