Railroadfan Wiki - Part 3 released

Unread post by ~Z~ »

A third dimension to the site now open: A railfan wikipedia.

This is a resource that can be edited by selected members of the site, viewable by all. In it's contents, we have train symbols, engine models, radio frequencies, routes, along with the possibility of many more additions. A small group of us have laid out some of the basic navigation for the wiki, but I'm asking all those that are interested in making a master database/guide for railfans to help participate. Many people keep their own individual notes about industry car loading, symbol identification, previous engine numbers on current locomotives, and lots of other aspects. There's so much knowledge that lies fairly private, but this is a way to share this with others.

Logging into the wiki uses your current Railroadfan.com username and password. The wiki can then remember that login for you. You would only need to be logged in to edit pages, but not for just viewing the pages. Anyone that would like access to the 'wiki' group and find that you don't already have access, please follow this link: ucp.php?i=167 and select to join the wiki group. I will then get that request to add you to have access to edit the wiki.

There is a guide on how to add your own content to the wiki under the section called Help/FAQ.

You can see links on the message board and photo gallery's navigation bar at the top to get to the wiki.
Here is a link as well: http://railroadfan.com/wiki

Please help keep the wiki up to date and useful, as this should be a very handy resource for most railfans.

Rule #1: BerkshireKid is God. Rule #2: God is always right. Rule #3: If you think you may actually be right refer to Rules #1 & #2.

Just updated the Q100's for CSX. Will try tommrow to update the Q200's and so on and so forth. It will take a little time as it takes about four hours just to do one series.
