Trying determine if it was one I saw on an Amtrak train YEARS ago that I’ve since never been able to locate; assuming it’s gone now.

And no, it's NOT the one that was next to the fire station on Green St. That one was silver/gray. This one was also on the other side of the tracks.

Appears it was here, both poles for the mount still remain though the siren itself along with its mount are both long gone. Considering there's a railroad track right behind it, it's very likely this was the one you saw.

Looking at streetview, it appears that since that picture had been taken, the siren got a new gray coat of paint, and began to lean on its mount slowly over time. The siren lasted up to 2019 before meeting its demise.

That was the other one. The one that I saw was on the other side of the tracks and red. This silver/gray one is on the archive too.
