The Siren Board

I know there has been a topic on here about sirens in rail yards but what about on railroad bridges? I have a link to a video made by the Penn Central Railroad company and at 23:28 you can see what appears to be a Federalcode Model 2. Was this a regular things in the 70s and can you provide any more examples?

P.S. Sorry I couldn't quite figure out how the Youtube option in making this post worked so I just posted a link.

I wouldn't say this is that uncommon, especially on drawbridge applications. I think it's more common to see smaller sirens like the A/L/F-2, but I think someone posted a picture of a little giant on one not too long ago.

Here is the location, it is in Ottawa,IL:

The FEC railroad drawbridge in Stuart, FL has an electronic speaker that plays a recording of a Model L several times before it closes

in Altoona PA on top of the locomotive shops, they have an STH-10

I've never seen one on a railroad bridge, but most of Oregon's drawbridges use Model A-type sirens to signal car traffic. The bridges in Portland use railroad-style bells, and one sounds a repeating electronic beep.
