Modified the Climax Owner Information pages so that no more than 50 entries are displayed per page.

2005-12-04

The site has been revised and some new content added. Some pages have been renamed and/or moved to new locations on the server. If you have linked to a particular page on this site, you will have to update your links accordingly. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but you can easily locate the page(s) by using the Site Map or from the Home page.

New features:

Photographs contained on the Climax Locomotive History, Surviving Climax Locomotives and Climax Locomotive roster pages will now open in a small popup window, if your browser supports the use of JavaScript. However, all photographs are accessible regardless of whether or not you have JavaScript enabled on your browser. Some browsers may require that you allow access to these popup windows. It’s perfectly safe to do so on this site.

Full roster data is now displayed for all search functions on the roster pages including functions to list locomotives by Class and track gauge. Formerly, the locomotive Class and track gauge listings consisted of a single page with only the Shop Number or Tracking Number listed.

Server Changes:

All pages contained on both the Climax Locomotives and Saw Mills sites now have PHP extensions. If you have linked to a particular page on the site and cannot locate it - refer to the Site Map.
