Ownership corrections-2

Post by luke » Tue Jun 16, 2009 10:05 am

Mike, you can do all of this at your own pace.


I went through the Illinois section, and found the following ownership errors.

These crossings:

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/Aurora/Liberty/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/ ... l/Oakland/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/ ... /Division/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/R-W/Rondout/Arcadia/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/ ... l/Gaylord/

and all crossings in this city:

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/R-W/West_Chicago/

still have the EJ&E logo, or have it coexisting with the CN logo.

In my opinion, they should be replaced with the Canadian National logo, along with some text saying, 'ex-EJ&E'.

:redx: Similarly, the crossings in Michigan that say GT should have that replaced with 'CN; ex-GTW'.

---

On some other crossings, you apparently found a logo for Illinois Railway.

Now the crossings in these cities:

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/Clarendon_Hills/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/Downers_Grove/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/R-W/Westmont/

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/Hinsdale/

need the Illinois Railway logo applied to them.

---

This crossing:

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/ ... /Columbus/

just needs the IC&E logo removed.

---

Lastly, 2 crossings whose pages have odd layouts.

This one:

:Check: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/A-K/ ... /Quercus1/

is missing the DOT #, total trains & accident data.

and :Check: Gilman, IL, has an odd layout, due to its age.

Here's what I'm going to do for this error report.

When a particular error has been fixed, I'll put a :Check: next to it, showing that it's been fixed.

I'll use an :redx: to show when an error is false, or doesn't need to be changed right away.

As for the errors sent in, some will be very easy to fix, some will take a bit longer to fix.

There is one thing I'm not going to fix right now, and that's changing the GT logo to CN. I have known about GT and CN as one company when I lived back in Michigan back in 2004 and 2005. Even though CN does operate on GT's lines, and the DOT signs show CN's logo instead of GT's, GT still operates independantly, and for this reason, the GT logo will not change for a while.

When I get to the process of updating the headers, graphics, and other information to clean it up, then I'll change it, but that could take a long time.

I'll take care of the rest of the errors though, as EJ&E is a fallen flag, I'll change it to CN.

Yep, CN's lines in the USA are GT still. It's been that way since 1971, when the name changed from Grand Trunk Western (GTW) to GTC (Grand Trunk Corporation).

Everything has been fixed, except for the GT logos, which I'll leave up for a while longer.

All other railroad names and a few other errors (mostly flash related) are now all fixed.
