Re: Central Florida & Surrounding Siren Dicussion

Have you talked with Adam Pollak? He has a list of pretty much every siren ever installed in Florida (of which there were many, but many were removed in the late 80s and early 90s). He also has quite a large collection at his house in Loxahatchee. No I have not, however might soon. Thanks for the i...

Re: Central Florida & Surrounding Siren Dicussion

Another interesting thing I might have to check out soon, This screamer in Hawthorne in 2014 and earlier views show it not well and overgrown, however in 2015 View, which is most up to date, it looks as if repainted and on a new pole, plus no vines and the addition of an antennae as if to activate r...

Re: Central Florida & Surrounding Siren Dicussion

Bump but found some an interesting news article on that Mobil-Directo in Palatka from 1966, However said "tarped-over" siren is just an antennae I'm 90% sure . But here is said article! https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1873&dat=19661203&id=n28eAAAAIBAJ&sjid=p8kEAAAAIBAJ&a...

Re: Trains + Sirens.

Sorry for bumping a now quite Ancient thread, But I have an interesting pair of sirens I have known about for the longest of time. This Master-Blaster And STH-10 in Reynolds, Georgia is right next to the NS Main there. I have seen these sirens in person and stayed at the Inn to the right of the view...

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.

Found this little guy in Midville Georgia, looks to be a small siren like a Model A but it almost appears to be rotating. However 2014 and 2016 views show no sign of movement, so could be defunct or not rotating. https://www.google.com/maps/@32.8181944,-82.234932,3a,15y,311.39h,103.34t/data=!3m6!1e1...

Re: Central Florida & Surrounding Siren Dicussion

Just came to my mind, IIRC, Didn't I read somewhere that the old Crystal River System was Sentrys? I had also found one of them I believe but I could not re-locate after loosing the post sadly. I will maybe try to look for it now.

Re: Central Florida & Surrounding Siren Dicussion

With Inverness being very close to Crystal River, its a high chance, but it also could have been used for fire calls as well. What I am seriously wondering is how many of these fire sirens are still in use. Especially with the closest one I have found being a mere 30 minute drive away, But many of t...
