The Siren Board

I went to New River Gorge for spring break this year to go camping and see the bridge. I took very few pics of sirens there and along the way, but here are couple of the interesting ones, along with some interesting finds.

The much-talked about Werden P-127 near Dayton, OH.


An SD-10 in Miamisburg, OH.


Eclipse 8 in Fayetteville, WV.


Mars? Fayetteville, WV.


The stoplights are arranged in a rather strange way here. I don't really understand why they don't do the "birdhouse" style like the rest of the states around here.


Gotta love those white trash Sunocos


A very interesting license plate. Yes, a Black man was driving this.


Here is a link to a panoramic pic I took of the New River Gorge Bridge.

Where exactly is that P-127 near Dayton? I'm going to a concert up in Xenia on Friday and can add a stop for some P-127 pics if it's not too far out of the way

That particular P-127 is in Englewood along I-70, about a half mile east of the Hoke Rd. exit. Englewood has a system of 3 Werden P-127s all located at sites with existing backup generators.

Are there any visual differences of the Werden P-127? I think I see a different logo on it, but that's all I can tell.

Cool siren pictures, didn't one of our members live in Fayetteville and they had a system of Sentry's?
Around here, we have some bird house lights, but most are being replaced by these ones where there are 4 lights and while the top 3 are regular O lights, the bottom one is an LED Arrow, and changes from green to yellow. Example:
In Lawrence Ks, they add a flashing yellow to the bottom of the arrow lights to indicate you can turn after yielding.

Funny License Platte.

Speaking of Fayetteville, TN's Sentry sirens, here's a photo I took on the way down to pick up my sirens:

The Eclipse8 is actually in Fayetteville, West Virginia, not Fayetteville, Tennessee.

Oh whoops. My bad. Sorry about that, I wasn't quite sure which Fayetteville you guys were talking about, yet I should have known, since this topic is about West Virginia.

Unfortunately, Englewood is too far out of the way to justify a side trip. What about that SD-10? Miamisburg is also out of the way, but that might be doable if it's not too far off the freeway.

In regards to what Lawrence KS has:

That is quite possibly the most dangerous to out-of-area-driver setup I have ever seen. Not to mention excessive. Everyone already knows what a standing green is and how to use it. Why complicate it with more lights and patterns when what the rest of America uses works just as well?
