The 1000T that is at 142nd St. and Emery Ave. (about 1 mile SE of where the T-bolt at Hwy 52 & 55 was) is still there as of 7-16. Technically, this siren is at a Rosemount address, no doubt the furthest-east siren in the city limits. Logically, this will be the next to go. Two short years ago, t...

On July first, they removed the thunderbolt that sat at the junction of HWY 52 and HWY 55. The siren was there when I drove by that morning, but by that evening, the siren was gone. The pole is still there, but so far no new siren has been installed there. I had to take a side trip to make sure the ...

I am not a modeler as far as rivit counting and what-not, but I was amazed at what I could come up with using nothing but some styrene and misc. pieces and parts that probably should have...

I remember from the Plymouth siren side profile that the lower portion of the horn reminded me of a pouting kid with his lower lip stuck out for some reason.

I am surprised the square-horned Hurricanes were that few in number. There used to be one in Plymouth, MN right next to I-694. A 2001 is there now. I can maybe thank that siren for my increasing interest in them. I was aware of thunderbolts (didn't know what they were called back then) but one with ...
