| Two years later than promised? When have I ever kept my promises?
In any event, the Dome finally has new items, plus an upgrade of the old. First, The Dome now has a New Arrivals page that lists significant additions and revisions. Second, there actually is a large haul of new stuff, the first since 2005 - with more coming. Third, I've re-edited many old pages with the hopes of making them intelligible (you be the judge). Fourth, remember all of those broken links?: fixed; bounced or unanswered email? see below. In all, we're hoping to steer this course for the immediate future, as I am able. Advancing age has not been kind. |

Moving forward, several SP San Jose area track maps are nearly ready, as well as some Sanborns. Quite allot of other stuff is in varying stages of completion, dependent upon personal whim and, again, the infirmities of advancing age. eMail : wx4org@yahoo.com |

| Don't These Guys Know the Rules? While Wx4 generally shies away from contemporary railroading, our satellite facility in Buenos Aires, Argentina alerted us to the below YouTube video, which is too good to pass up. As you shall see, the train crew is flagrantly violating the rules: diesel-electrics should not be operated in more than two inches of water over the ball of the rail. Otherwise, we suspect that they are technically in compliance. | |||

Wx4's Bicentennial RR & Official Mascot: Well yeah, the C&OC collapsed in 1954,and Al Gore hadn't yet invented the Internet in 1976, but what the heck... Greatly Expanded Coverage Soon!! |
![]() Hate annoying ads? Do you think that 'commercial-free' PBS has more advertising than network TV? Please don't let Wx4 go this route: An Earnest Plea for Lots of Money! |

Too old & brain dead to hire out with a railroad? |
So, you don't think that we're very funny? You can try:
Amtrek,net If that site seems lame, try here For more historical info on the Bay Area, fellow engineer, Frank Caron, has excellent and extensive coverage on SP's San Bruno Branch / Ocean View Line (the original route to San Francisco) at his Railroading in the San Francisco Bay Area site. We note that he has finally updated his site after a long dry spell. Way to go, Frank! |
