After examining an old map, I found that the Lewistown & Reedsville trolley ran from the terminus in Burnham out 8th avenue, on its way to old Burnham Park. The map on the Lewistown & Reedsville Electric Railway page now reflects that.

The Awards Received page is now broken up into three pages. This was done to ease the graphic load time, and to better organize the awards.

Webring is integrating with Yahoo. The Webrings that have contacted me have been changed over to the new Yahoo format. With this change, TrainWeb has also rewritten their webring policy and now requires their Webring to be placed on the home page of all member websites. Therefore, I have decided to no longer participate in their webring and have deleted it from this site.
