Re: Whelen 3016s in Dresden / Braidwood,IL nuke plant system

I don't know how many there were, but I recall seeing one somewhere near I-55 in Braidwood back in 2007.

There were also several as part of the Byron system.

Wow those must have been the last ones made before they were discontinued?

Re: My New Toy

The original allertor by the water tower was grey, right? not sure what you mean by "original" Allertor. The water tower siren was siren #8 and was originally installed at the fire station about a mile away in the late 1970s. It was yellow. It was moved to the water tower location and pai...
