Aerial Explorer Fixed

If you have been trying out the Google Maps at http://www.railgeelong.com/aerial.php , you might have found them working strange. That’s because the code behind it was mucked up when I updated something that uses the same functions.

Anyway – it is fixed now, and works as I intended it to.

Site Live

It is one more week until the Geelong Line turns 150 years old, and this site is now live to the public.

Rail Geelong

It is a history of the railways of the Geelong Region – the Geelong, Queensclliff, Fyansford, and Cunningham Pier lines, as well as every location on them.

Each rail line has a writeup, tables of important events, as well as track and safeworking system diagrams for each and every year.

As well as that, each location has a writeup, important events listed, and track diagrams.

Finally, there is a Google Map mashup that overlays all locations against satellite and map imagery.

I hope you all find something interesting – there are months of coding and research behind it. :)

And on a side note, I would like to thank Andrew Waugh for allowing me to use his station histories data, and Paul and Kathleen Kenny for the Queenscliff line data.
