12-20-24 Update

[Hopen111]

Well that was something! Now that the forum is back up and online for whatever reason, here's my final update for 2024!

One very cool thing to note is that I've created a new program that behind the scenes, will and has saved many hours of my time by automatically making city pages! In fact, it's the sole reason why I was able to completely finish the Iowa section of this update in just 24 hours!

This update covers my recent trip to Fort Dodge and Ottumwa, as well as an update to Bucyrus, KS, by KCMO Railfan. Washington has also been updated again, thanks to holdyourspike!

International coverage includes video updates to crossings in Blitar, East Java, as well as some new ones, thanks to clos! Also, the crossing IDs have been replaced by crossing JPL numbers, since that's what railroads in Indonesia use as their version of DOT numbers.

And finally, the long awaited Romania section of the site is out! Huge thanks to Tudor the Romanian and Mazz0 for documenting crossings from there!

Below are the totals for this update, and I've also included a total count of all the monthly updates over this past year at the bottom!

Honestly, the trip to Burlington was a special one. The last time I went to Skagit County was before COVID. Glad I was able to document one of the more rare crossings in Washington.
