No, they were taken a while back. No need to be bummed, get a hold of Jr. and see when he is coming out and hook up with him.

Old Station No. 3. Across the street from the new station. Constructed in 1911 and retired in 1995. The four face clock in the bell tower worked up until the day it was moved out of.

Another shot. When originally constructed, it had a horseshoe garage opening.

I want to through this photo up in hopes Rheems1 is paying attention.



This is one of quite a few new sirens through out the area of eastern Luzerne County that I was in the other weekend. Not all of them where at fire stations, but most where. What is it Fritz?

Ohh yes, I am paying attention alright LOL!! Here is the story on those.... the Susquehanna Steam Nuclear Generation Plant in Berwick, Pa orignally used Federal Thunderbolts and some Federal STH-10 sirens in it's early warning system. About 5 years ago the Thunderbolts started to fail in greater numbers and it was decided that they needed to be replaced, the plant started shopping for thier replacement and eventually signed with a company called ATI to furnish rotating electronic sirens as thier replacement. The ATI sirens were put up and were in service for about 2 months when it was deemed that they were junk and were not operating up to the agreed upon potientional or desired results. PP&L sued ATI for the system and it's inefficent performance, an agreement was reached and ATI purchased a new warning siren system for them. They decided to go with a system of ASC T-121 sirens which are electromechanical and have a much greater effective range. What you have is a picture of one of the new ASC T-121 sirens.... there are 2 ASC T-112 sirens (they are the same except without the big horns) in Berwick that double as fire sirens for the fire department in Berwick. Good picture Darin of one of the new sirens in the system!!!
