Trip to Oak Hills, WV- Lots of Pictures
Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2014 3:28 am
Took a trip to Oak Hills, West Virginia. Saw some sirens on the way to and back.
First up is this Whelen WPS-2910 I spotted while pulling off the AA Highway in Grayson, KY. It's at the entrance to the Kentucky Christian University, on Academic Parkway:

Here's an up-close:

Here's a shot showing the patented EZ-PULL Speaker Drivers, thus confirming it's a 2900:

Here's a sneak peek to something in Charleston, WV you'll see later on

Next is this fine pair of sirens (This time planned!) in Marmet, WV. They are located at 9405 Maccorkle Avenue:

Unfortunately, I don't know whether the Thunderbolt is active or not, but I'm pretty sure the 2001-DC is. Anyways, here's a close-up of the Thunderbolt:

And the 2001 (Notice the interesting antennae!):

This 2001-DC and Sterling M were also planned. They are located in Chesapeake, WV, which is just southeast of Marmet, at 12408 Maccorkle Ave:

Yet again, don't know the status of the Sterling, but I'm almost 100% positive that the 2001 is active. Here's a close up of the Sterling:

Here's an even closer picture, hopefully someone smarter than me can figure out the port ratio.

Now for the 2001:

That's it for the trip out, now for the sirens I got on the way back. As a side note, none of these final ones were planned.
First off is an interesting find, I didn't expect this. We were driving past a huge coal plant or port or something in Alloy, WV. Just as I thought, "Gee, they should at least have a small siren..." I looked out the window and there I saw a red Model 5! And, yet again, not sure about its status. So, here are the pictures:

Even closer:

As another side note, I saw a 2001-DC Roundback while driving through Glasgow, WV, and a few other 2001-DC's.
Next up will be the last three sirens of my trip, all located in close proximity to each other around the Capitol Building Complex in Charleston, WV. The first one I saw was a (very special kind of) Modulator. Then, atop a building only about 300 Yards away was a 2001-DC. And THEN I saw a DSA, again only about 300 yards away, atop a parking garage. First up are the pictures of the DSA.
So here's one up close and personal:

And then from the ground:

And now for the Modulator. BUT it's a very interesting kind of Modulator... A Modulator II! This is something I've never seen, and I was extremely surprised! It was also interesting seeing how big it was in comparison to the regular Modulator. Also, recognize anything? Yup, it's the one from the sneak peek! Anyways, here are the pictures:

One more thing, I saw plenty more Modulator II's on my way back through Charleston, here are a few:

DSCN4998 by 4j25, on Flickr
And that does it! It was a great trip, and I had fun whitewater rafting in Oak Hills. Hope you all enjoyed the pictures!
