Tractive Efforts Finally Scrapped
01/07/08 20:35
The publication of the new China Main Line photo galleries has finally consigned the last remnants of Tractive Efforts to the scrap heap. Virtually all the pictures that were in the Tractive Efforts Photo Galleries are now available in the Railography galleries and those that aren't need re-scanning anyway. Hopefully that won't take too long but as Tractive Efforts took about two years to disappear, don't hold your breath!
Railography goes XHTML
11/06/08 17:32
If you have any difficulty viewing the Czech photo galleries mentioned in the previous item then please contact me. These pages have been produced with XHTML code rather than the traditional HTML. Although they've been checked on a variety of different browsers on both PC and Mac computers, it's always possible that some older browsers won't be able to cope.

The intention is that all future content will be coded in XHTML and many existing pages will be replaced with XHTML equivalents when they need revising.

Railography Search Facility
22/05/08 19:06
I've added a search facility to Railography courtesy of Google. You can now search the site using the search box that appears close to the bottom of most pages including this one.

There's also a dedicated search facility available for the loco lists on the Chinese Steam Locomotives Contents Page. This just searches the Class, Location and Bureau lists.
Tractive Efforts Hits the Buffers

Tractive Efforts is no more. My original Chinese Steam website has now been de-activated. Following the transfer of the Locomotive Lists and Loco Profiles to Railography, the Links, Trip Reports, Maps and Movies have also been moved leaving only the Photo Galleries. These are accessible from within Railography anyway and will remain available until the material has been transferred to Railography galleries. In the short term, anyone attempting to access Tractive Efforts pages will be redirected to Railography.

Tractive Efforts Site History
Railography goes RSS
18/06/06 21:55
Railography now has an RSS feed allowing you to keep up to date with developments without having to continually revisit the site.

Any changes to Railography, such as new reports or photos that are listed here will automatically generate an entry on the RSS list. If you have a compatible browser, such as Apple's Safari, you can bookmark the RSS feed and your browser will notify you when new items appear in the list. Alternatively you can use a freestanding RSS reader. The link to the RSS feed is at the foot of the filmstrip on the right side of the page.

Railography news pages are now produced using RealMac Software's RapidWeaver program.

To make it easier to find material relevant to a particular country, a Country Index has been added. Each index links to all the relevant material for the country in question.

Most Railography Photo Galleries reworked so they are based more on location and less on individual trips. This should make it easier to find photos. Galleries are now generated directly from Aperture then reformatted by a VBA macro to the Railography style. Numerous new pictures added.
