I know these might be super common, but I just can't figure what they are.

First two are on a road leading to West Point academy, third is on a building viewable from a church (Chapel of the trinity or something) in west point itself.

Those two sirens are part of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant warning system in Buchanan, NY.. the P-15 is of course the old system and the ATI is the new system (that they are very, very dissapointed with). The GSC Model 2 is used for something, but what I am not sure.. I have always assumed it was for when Army scored a touchdown but I am not sure.

Possible siren right in the middle? The black thing on the round-roofed building. I got pictures of two STH-10s today but it was too dark to get pics of this.

Posting street view images in this thread is basically useless since the resolution is so low you can't tell anything.

Looks like a roof vent to me.

Was just sondering if theres a possibility of it being a siren with the placement and such, not what kind of siren it is. Also, I don't think its a roof vent as roof vents don't normally have eyelets on them (this had four around the edge.)

The red one is I believe to be a Federal WG, Don't take my word on it but I think thats what it was.

I emailed Whelen about an official model number for the five array model, but I'm guessing its 2020.

Well, I finally found the right email address to contact them and got a reply.

Kasey,

That was call a WS-2500. It was standard production but not many were ever produced.

I think the red one is the Model X (or WG like Rhett said). Most of those I've seen are 24 volt military models. The other siren looks like a Sireno.

This is what he said

As good a comparison as any.
