Rail Geelong - News

February 10, 2010	New RSS feeds available I have now created a RSS feed of recent changes to the site – it is available right here, the computer gurus among you can subscribe to it, and be informed when changes are made. I have also made available feeds for the image gallery: Recently uploaded images Albums with added images
December 21, 2009	More site issues After another round of issues with the site that I found over the weekend, I have now got it back online. This time I have updated the code to the latest version, instead of just restoring from clean backups.
December 10, 2009	Some site issues I noticed this evening that some Malware had been inserted into my site’s code, which then attempted to exploit holes in visitors web browsers to install nasties onto their computers. I took the site offline for a few hours to restore from backups, and now it is all clean again. Firefox or Google may still flag the site as a ’suspected attack site’ but the issue has been fixed.
November 10, 2009	Major updates for 2009 I think this is the first round of updates I have done to the site since April 2008 (about 18 months ago!) Changes include: New page listing all updates by when they were made Lineguides sorted by region The Geelong line now covers all station between Geelong and Warrnambool, including all closed stations along the way. The Maribyrnong River and Power Station and Oil Lines are now covered in much greater detail. The Mortlake branch is also covered. The Geelong-Ballarat line is very close to being complete.
February 23, 2009	Winchelsea resignalling photos On February 22, 2009 Winchelsea was decommissioned as a block point, the crossing loop having been removed some months earlier. The up and down semaphore home signals were removed, and the up and down departure colour light signals were converted to LED automatic signals. Photos of the work are here.
November 12, 2008	More site updates I have done some more site tweaks, the last round I did messed things up to some degree. I think this round has not. A number of locations have been expanded as well.
October 22, 2008	Gallery updates I have just updated and tweaked the gallery software. The main difference is that it handles relocated images better, rather than just giving you an error it redirects you.
October 5, 2008	Corio Independent Goods Line The Corio Independent Goods Line is pretty much completed, so a page about the layout and signalling has been created: http://www.railgeelong.com/lineguide/corio-independent-goods-line It accompanies the photos here: http://www.railgeelong.com/gallery/events/corio-independent-goods-line
June 12, 2008	Site hosting move The site hosting has just been moved, but everything seems fine.
April 14, 2008	More photos At present there are two projects occurring on the Geelong line: construction of the Corio Independent Goods Line which is a dual gauge freight line from North Geelong up to North Shore, and the relaying of the wooden sleepered parts of the Geelong Line. Photos of both projects are here and here.
