The nostalgia of this train is undeniable. As much as i hate our shipping & transportation monopolies, I appreciate these small moments of classic Americana.
Nice to see one start and stop between both signals Hennipen County in Minnesota has all its 2001s both new 130s and older SRNs and SRNBs rotate between both signals which is kind of odd thinking could it be with how the system is tied into the countys activation point
There is another message this has: “Attention! A tornado warning including the city of Lake Forest is now in effect. Do not delay, seek shelter immediately.” Followed by the same tone Source: just experienced it
Is this the one nearby the fire department with the RU-vid firefighter Jason Patton aka fire department chronicles? I thought that was a p15 that I saw
Nice video! Just so you know, Genoa tests every Tuesday. So does Sycamore. They are some of the only towns left that test outside of the first Tuesday in northern Illinois.
@Montecat33 interesting, didn't realize they changed that. I remember the last time we had a video from Genoa we had to call and ask them to activate it lol. Now that was a long time ago -Erik
@@TransitWeather I remember reading that! Yea sometimes Genoa forgets. Sycamore is automated. Their system sometimes tests early though, I have a video or two of mine where they surprised me by going off early lol
I’ve been collecting a map recently of all abnormal testing sirens in terms of timing. Someday I plan to ride my moto across these towns in IL and see multiple tests in one day. Hopefully soon! 😊
@@chrome7fan Very nice, send me a link to it if you don't mind? There are numerous places in central and southern IL that don't do first Tuesday if you didn't know
@@Montecat33 indeed there are a lot of abnormal testing times in the south IL area! At the moment my map is very small, only about 15 locations, but eventually I’ll put out a google maps link on the siren board when I feel it’s completed enough.
That device is NOT that it warns BEFORE lightning strikes, right? I don't see any use in that.. what's the use of letting me know when lightning has struck? if one without the need for detectors realizes when lightning strikes nearby... It would be good if it prevents or warns before that lightning is going to strike nearby and so one gets to a safe place in case of being outside or something like that
they did this bc its cloudy and if its cloudy people get scared that theres a real tornado. so the system is forced to say a message for no one to be calling 911
The system says this every single time it's a test. Tornados can show up even on bright sunny days. And no one calls 911 if the tornado siren goes off. We get in the safe spaces that we're trained on since we're a baby.
