Nice picture! Sirens and railroads are a couple of my favorite things :) That was a PRR shop until they were folded into Conrail two years prior to the pic. It's owned by NS now.

This one I believe was installed above Circular Quay Station. Supposedly was purchased by Grafton Fire Station and is still in use to this day.

In the bottom-left of this photo, you can see an H.O.R Siro-Drone in Manhattan, NYC from 1954:

Their system used to consist of Super Sirexes and Siro-Drones. Sadly, they have all been removed. In fact, I believe there is an audio recording on YouTube from 1951 where you can hear them during a CD drill.
