- On this walk we cover approximately 8 miles and visit 8 sirens in the southern and eastern part of downtown Los Angeles. And we find some very interesting sirens along the way.

How cool that they allowed an artist to make the first siren into a daffodil!
Yes that is correct that is a Federal Signal Mode 3!!!
The Narcissus/Daffodil is a legendary siren!
Fantastic stuff I love these and have been keeping tabs on them for years and are featured in my transit photography whenever possible.
Most of the wires connected to the sirens were phone lines that activated them. They do not provide power to the siren but only activate them. Also what you referred to as the junction box is actually the siren control cabinet. Inside there is the motor starter relay which turns power on and off to the siren and the telephone relay, which is responsible for responding to the ring signals and turning on the motor starter.
That's what I thought but there was some debate about that in the commebts of an earlier video. Thank you.
The “Flat Birdhouse” sirens are actually Federal Model 3L’s, the L stands for Low Tone, The reason the housings were shorter is because of a metal shortage during the time of manufacturing. The insides of these are the same as any other low tone model 3. If you look on the tag on the siren they are model 3’s I also believe that the innards of the daffodils Siren are fake. I own a SD-10 I and the core looks way different
Yeah, I've become convinced that those are indeed Model 3's and your comment supports the general thought that they were created because of metal shortage. Thanks for the info! And that's awesome that you own an SD-10 l .I'm sure you're making many people jealous.
80 YEARS!!?? THAT IS CRAZY!!!!
It's more like 60-70 years. Some of the older ones have been there for about 80
@@kansasclocksandsirens I mean they should have had corroded to where the pole falls over. that's probably why most of them over
There is an SD 10 close to me,AND ITS ACTIVE YAY
There’s been a couple Federal SD 10sIn Amarillo Texas those federal SD 10 sirens they were used for tornado warnings
Yeah, different regions have different public alert systems. In Los Angeles, as well as many others, the primary need was civil defense during WWII and the Cold War. In others it's Tornados. In others its Floods or Tsunamis. In others its for Fire. And in some places it's to warn of imminent Nuclear Reactor meltdown. That's why we have so many beautiful sirens all over the country.
That siren is not small enough to be a H-O-R siro drone. By the way, Siro drone is said: SIGH-ROH DRONE. It is a Federal Signal Model 3, (3 HP siren), or a Fedelcode (Federal Electric Coded) model 3. These are both the same. Just diferent names.
Someone looked at the model tag on the "flattened birdhouse" siren, and it said MACH 3L. The Fedelcode models used MACH instead of Model when naming the sirens.
This is great information and the first I've heard of a Mach 3L. Doing some research I found a great supporting post on FB, Long Island Fire Alarm Page. I think you've put a pin in it. Thank you!
@@DayTrippingAdventurer i know this is a one year old comment but im 90% sure this is a cut down fedelcode model 5/7 if im wrong im sorry
They have Thunderbolts if you can try and find them
@Gibson Rowe I know
One of the air raid sirens is called sd-c10
You still need to see the Chrysler Bell and the 2t22.
Trust me, they're on my list.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Nice.
Did u already visited the 3t22A
@@SOLDIER8O8 who
@@arizonasirensandscrap9851 oh day trip
Those "birdhouse" sirens a federal signal model 3s.
They sure have a lot of SD-10's
You need to see the/a Thunderbolt/s that I listed on video #4, they are really different to these sirens.
I think that second to Last siren is a fedelcode model 3 or a HOR siro-drone.
I think the consensus is that it's a Model 3.

Nice shot of that train!
And 9:44
Thank you, I know there are some train enthusiasts out there. If you like trains I can certainly find more :P
Thank you for this content
Yoholy my best friend in Roblox he created the Los Angeles siren system with SD 10s and 500s
UMMMM a SD5?? You mean a Model 5
Daffodil SD_10
7:30 No mean to be smart but um……
It’s an eagle when you said chicken restaurant! Gavilan is an eagle. It’s from a Spanish word.
No worries, i love it when people correct me, that's how I learn. The place looks like a chixken place, but who knows, maybe they're serving eagles 🤪
@@DayTrippingAdventurer There's another restaurant that looks like the one I corrected you! Pollo Campero. Search the logo and they look similar!
Do they still work ?
Kind of a big question :D. Of the sirens I've visited just about all of them no longer work as they are disconnected from their electrical lines. The only ones that might work are the 2T22 I visited on walk 7.
From comments and information I've read online, if the sirens were cleaned up a little (removing any nests or debris, and reattached to power they would probably work.
11:49 That's a ACA Cyclone.
From looking at some photos of an ACA Cyclone I'm quite sure that the sirens in Los Angeles are not one of them.
The current thinking is that they are either Model3s cut down to save material during WWII or a HOR SiroDrone. Personally, based on the era they were put up and the other dominant siren being Federal Signal Corp Model5s, my vote is for them being Model3s. But, I've certainly been proven wrong of things in the past. Thanks for the information.
nah actualy an H O R siro drone
It looks like one
@@CadeRankin2006 not quite sure if that's true that it looks like an aca cyclone
@@SOLDIER8O8 its a fedelcode model 5 or some modified model.
