Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Got this one out in the nick of time! Behind the scenes, I had to rush to finish Iowa in the past two days as well as the Illinois update, so that was fun. But that stress was worth it for this update! (or something)

First things first, HopenRXRTools 1.3.0 is finally out! If you have explored Grinnell, IA, you might have noticed some test build pages for 1.3.0 were released in the October 2024 update. Since then, I have perfected HopenRXRTools, and most (if any) issues you had with it before should be rectified by now!

With the help of UPking, 102 has been updated with a new signal type, known as the Hall Disc "Banjo" Signal! More info about it can be found here: http://www.rxrsignals.com/102/Signals/Banjo/

Today is also KCMO Railfan's largest update record, with thousands of photos from Kansas and Missouri now on the site, covering the KC area! He has also posted new photos of his collection.

Below are the totals for the update. If you find any issues, please notify me and I'll get them fixed ASAP!
