I wanted to show where 2 former Thunderbolt 1000Ts were in my neighborhood and ware the current 2001 DC is. I am riding my old green Schwinn. Please excuse the shaking. I love the style of the church I show at the end! Bremer the former school (now a retirement home) that I start off at is on Lowry Ave. N. between Emerson and Fremont Ave. N. Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. Recorded 7/30/2010. I pass by the North Regional Library also.

  • Great video John! It's sad to see a mysterious Tbolt to me go away, considering i've been in the TC all my life from the 90s. Do you happen to remember what color the Thunderbolt was originally in, and repainted? From what I've noticed, there is only 1 TB that is painted CD yellow in Minneapolis. Also, do you have an idea on if, and when Minneapolis will replace the TB? From what I know, there are FS dealerships nearby in Rochester, and Wisconsin, and ASC is in Milwakee.

  • @ironike11 I heard that the T-Bolts will be replaced within the next 3 years. The Thunderbolts in my neighborhood have always been painted white, the siren on Bremer School was white but even in the mid 1980s was very rusty. The Thunderbolt on the Library didn't even begin to rust before it was removed.

    Are you talking about the siren on Penn & 394 that is painted yellow?

  • Did the city scrap the two Thunderbolt 1000Ts i wonder why did they even waste time

    and money in restoring and repainting them when they took them down and what are your thoughts on the rest of the Thunderbolt 1000T System ?

  • @garyhstorms10 I'm not sure about what happened to those Thunderbolts but I think they should keep the same old system going.

  • Did they relocate, replace or just decomission these sirens?

  • @dualactionsurgilator First they relocated and then restored/repainted. Then they took the siren out of service. I think the old people in the retirement condos complained about it.
