I-71 between Cincy and Columbus

[Oldiesmann]

It's time for another "going on a road trip" post

On March 7th, I will be going up to Columbus for a concert. I will be following I-71 from Cincinnati to just north of I-70. The concert venue itself is at 300 Broad Street in downtown Columbus.

What all is up that way?

Here's what I know of:
Model D and TBolt in Harveysburg (may try to photograph these again depending on what time I get going)
2001 somewhere near downtown Wilmington (don't remember the exact location)
Whelen at the fire station on Rombach Avenue in Wilmington
Whelen near US-68 and I-71 South in Wilmington
Whelen in Sabina (a few miles east of Wilmington)
Several EOWS*612s in Washington Court House (might be worth a drive if I have time)

I'd prefer to stick close to the freeway, but I'm not against driving a few miles if there's something particularly interesting.

Here's a map for Clinton County:

And lastly, Fayette County:

One more thing, I just noticed that you said that the concert is at 300 West Broad Street, and there is a Whelen 3016 at that same lot. Just incase you didn't know.

Hope this helps!

Here are a few sirens not too far out of your way that you may want to see:

Whelen 2905: Quaker Way & Douglas Street @ Wilmington College
Sentry 10V: Clinton Massie High School on Lebanon Road
2001-DC(you mentioned): West Locust Street & North Mulberry Street @ downtown Wilmington
W.S Darley Model 2: 2nd Street & Walnut Street @ Port William Fire Department
Federal Electric Company Type B: 4th Street & Main Street @ Clarksville Town Hall

Thanks for the help! The STH-10s in Jeffersonville and the Darley in Port William sound like definite options, as does the Model 5/7 in Bloomingburg.

I also found some other things in that area through virtual siren hunting (thanks to VASirens for finding the ones in London):

Clark County
Model 5? at the fire department in South Charleston (222 West Columbus Road)
Whelen Omni - along the railroad tracks near US-42, London
Whelen Omni - Wesley Drive and Sheffield Boulevard, London
Whelen Omni (2810?) - US-42 south of Keny Boulevard, London

Delaware County
2001-SRN at the Tri-Township Fire Department in Delaware (495 Sunbury Road)
Whelen at the fire department in Sunbury (350 West Cherry Street)

Fairfield County
Model 3? at the fire department in Amanda (211 Johns Street)

There is also an STH-10 at Carr Road and Route 41 in Jeffersonville, OH right off of Route 71 exit 69:

There's also an STH-10 at Exit 65 off I-71 at the corner of Route 435 and Allen Rd.

Both of those are on the Fayette County map posted above.

It turns out that Fairfield County (south/east of Columbus) has a list of all their sirens on their website, except for 8 of them in the city of Lancaster. Most of their sirens are refurbished Whelen Vortexes which they got from Lake County, though there are a few others as well - a model 5, a possible Darley and a couple of STH-10s. I wasn't able to find all of them since some are in the middle of nowhere, but here's a map for those who are interested. Also, if anyone knows where the ones in Lancaster are (should be Vortexes as well), let me know and I'll add them to the map.

Fairfield County sirens were all 3016's from what I mapped out. They also seemed to be mounted a little lower than normal.
