Site Updates.

December 5th 2009.

Site Updates.

We have worked up a new site design using a tab system, this should help organize narrow gauge railroads in each state. As we are continuing to grow rapidly expect more changes in the future. Other changes about the site: The page should now stretch to fit your screen, font sizes are slightly larger and we've been working to make the site easier to read. We always welcome feedback, if you have any issues with the site or would like to make a suggestion do not hesitate to email or leave a message on the forums.

New section and Google map for State Belt Railroad of California.

New section and article for the National Locomotive Works.

New section for the Dayton, Sheridan & Grand Ronde.

New section for Period Paint. This will be our ever growing home for information relating to period paint and its usage. This is a broad scope of study and will go beyond Locomotive and Equipment paint as it grows.

New section for State Railroad Commission Reports. California, Nevada and Oregon have begun to be listed at present.

New sections for the San Joaquin & Sierra Nevada, Diamond & Caldor, Mich-Cal and El Dorado Lime & Mineral Co.
