HISTORY - Elmhurst had a system of 6 Federal Sign and Signal Thunderbolt 1000s that were installed in or around 1967, which were replaced in 2007/2008 by 6 T-121s after the town fell for God knows what from ASC. The town also had a Darley Champion at the fire station on York Rd north of the Metra/UP tracks, and possibly more fire sirens given the presence of one.
