02/23/02 - revamped site - added page index to every page - also added photo credit to each individual shot.
03/11/02 - MP 893 - 2 to go
05/01/02 - split UP & CBQ pages (too large). "Name" tagged all 236 cars so they can be accessed individually. Revamped all "RR" pages with direct links from the text to any other referenced page. Began secondary page linkbacks to the "name" tags for every car mentioned.
05/21/02 - completed linkbacks from above - added new pages for NRC, Monad, Rail Ventures, car diagrams.
06/12/04 - have not kept this up. Added many features over last couple years, but just got a new webtvbox with expanded memory and added 236 new pages so every car photo index is on new page and "favorites" link direct to PB indexes. Involved making new directorys as well as link pages (had to copy html on every one). Took approx 3 solid weeks of work. Next project will be thumbnails if feasable.
