Federal Model 500 Found

Thu Jan 22, 2015 1:36 am

While checking for an old railroad line, I came across an older version of a Federal Signal Model 500 in Newberry, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula. Its located at the Newberry Water & Light Plant on East. McMillan Street. Looks freshly painted.

Not so sure if it's still there or not. Looking at it from satellite view, it looks like there is a new siren on a pole at the location.

Is there a little one on that silver building to the right of the siren in question?

If you look at the 500 from down the road it appears the top of the horn has had a louver added to it

I wonder what the other thing on the roof is...? It does kinda look like a TB, but it just doesn't look right...of course, I haven't seen how big a 500 is in real life, so that's probably what's throwing me off.
And did anyone call the FD and ask about it? Perhaps they still have it.
