FS 2T22 Siren Replacement - La Crosse, WI 8-30-2021
Ғылым және технология
The 28th and Farnam Street FS 2T22 is gone, replaced by a Federal Signal 508-128. It is the last CD-era siren to be replaced in La Crosse, WI. It replaced on 8-30-2021 by ECS. I was glad I was able to see the whole replacement process (thank you Amos!).
There are now only 2 active CD-era sirens in La Crosse County and those are the Holmen FS 2T22 and the Bangor Model 5. This was the last CD-era siren to be replaced in the City of La Crosse. It's the end of an era for the city; the oldest active siren in the city is from 2004 now that the 2T22 is gone.
The 2T22 had a good run though, from around the mid 60's to 2021- almost 60 years.

The Federal Signal 508 is a cool siren, but the older Civil Defense sirens will always live on in my heart, including this 2T22. It did its job for 57 years. I hope that this 508 will be put to good use in tests. Many of these sirens in my area (in many local fire departments in New York State) were installed sometime in the early 1960's for not only Civil Defense but for volunteer fire department use. I hope that this 2T22 gets restored and its intake(s) fixed for the next town or fire department.

I love older sirens, but if they would of kept it longer, it would just give up and fail and fail. 508s are much newer and can last more 50+ years. Then if it gets too old, it will happen again. It’s the life cycle, friends, Like old things? Go work at a Museum.

whoa, this is the first time I've seen a video about a town I live in
I never knew that the 2T22 was installed in 1964. It sure had its excellent operational run covering the city of La Crosse, WI, for 57 years. The 508 is still a good replacement for the 2T22, but the older CD-era sirens will always be the best sirens ever made during the Cold War era.
RIP THE SIREN FS 2T22 😭😭

R.I.P 2T22. The 508 was a reasonable replacement, though. The 2T22 was aging and didn't have battery backup. The new 508, however, has battery backup and is way less outdated, even if the 508-128 is not a very good siren in general. A pro of the 508 over the 2T22 is when the AC power cuts out during a storm, it will still be sounding, warning people until the batteries die, or the siren gets killed by the storm.
Keeping and upgrading the siren is better than taking them away

What do they do with sirens after they're replaced? A Federal Signal 2001 SRN replaced a Thunderbolt siren model close near me last April, there's a 2001 DC model, the new SRN model and one perfect and healthy condition thunderbolt 1000T is left in the town. I'm just curious on what exactly happens to sirens after they end up getting replaced? I've seen the graveyards, do they all go there? Or do some of them get scrapped? How long do sirens usually stay in graveyards?

P-50s aren't made anymore and there's only 1 company I know of that refurbishes those, and that's Fulton. 2001s are good sirens, but they won't carry as far as the 508 that replaced this 2T22. 128dB@100ft is still very loud.

@@WilliamNealyMusic well if you share with them that your a siren collector and show pictures to prove it they might be happy to let you take the 'trash' of their hands but i do know that they do sometimes take it to a high bidder who will restore the siren and put it back in service especially when they post it on ebay. Atleast from what I've learned from this hobby. I know it's like that collecting insulators you ask the crews and show them pics of your collection and they will happily let you take the old insulators while old transformers are taken back to the shop to be repaired and restored.

No. ECS does not restore the sirens that they remove. They used to sell what they removed- but way overpriced on EBay, but they have not been doing that within the last few years. So it most likely got scrapped. Which sucks because the only thing this 2T22 needed was it's intakes cleaned and perhaps a paint job to look better cosmetically.
508 is excellent, though I haven't found any in IA yet.
