ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

Gonna bump this one, because it looks weird and it seems to have gotten buried. Some weird Federal model like the 20, maybe?

I was looking around Australia for any sirens, considering I live there, and stumbled upon an unknown siren. Any help identifying it would be great!

Pretty sure they were made by Grifco. Here's a picture of another one.

That's definitely a homemade type job. It could possibly be a siren, but I can't see it well enough to see if there are any controls. It could just as well be part of a citywide PA system.

I know that area well and have seen these speakers before. I'm 99.5% sure they're railway-related. The city has a warning system of 2001s, Modulators and a couple XT22s and Thunderbeams for chemical incidents like the major spill in 2014.

Is there a station nearby? Because I think if there is, it is a PA system for the railway.

I'm not sure. The fact that there's a major road right next to it raises the possibility that a station was demolished to expand the highway, but I don't know the history. I'm pretty sure it's also now a freight-only railroad, no passengers.

So with what you said I think maybe it was used for a station but they are inactive now?

That's my inference based on the evidence there.

Does anyone have any idea who makes these and what they look like?

I had a feeling it was a loudspeaker, just had no idea what they looked like.

I think I may have just found a new ACA howler location. I was wandering around in Google maps like one does and stumbled across Hamburg MN nearby Norwood Young America MN and Colouge MN and I was finding locations for a map I'm making and I found this I screen captured it so I think it might be a Howler otherwise it's a P-10 or P-15. If you could reply as fast as you can to tell me that would be great!
