The Siren Board

Took some pictures of the 2t22 at Friendship Park yesterday. The top intake cover is bent as well as one of the horns on the top row.

My question is: Why is the power shut-off box 4 feet off the ground. It seems to me that anyone can just waltz up an shut it off. I think it might be something stupid in the electric codes in Toledo.

I have a funny story for every siren! I remember when I was about 7, I was walking my dog at the park. I didn't know it was the first Friday of the month. I was 25 yards away from it when it went off and it almost gave me and my dog a heart attack! I was terrified of sirens since them until a year and a half ago. I think that one event is what planted the seed for currently loving them. 8)

looks like it's three phase......

Awesome pictures, I bet that 2T22 has been there for a while, to mention the worn out CD Logo.

I asked my grandmother, who has lived right on the Maumee Bay (1/4th of a mile from the siren installation) since the 1940s. She told me that it showed up sometime in the mid 1960s.

I can'tell from the siren, but looks like three conductors into the mast weatherhead.
