8.11.2011 refurbishing of site starting
The building of the new Main Page has started! We wish to enhance the overall quality of the site as we have noticed that with time and the previous tool we have been using for updates many of the links change, which is frustrating to any reader. Also the tool often looses its functionality / makes random links, which can be annoying for the editor. In addition to fixing these, we wish to make better HTML code for better compatibility with the most common browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari.

As most of the new pages we are building will again be quite heavy, you might wish to know that we have noticed that the Firefox offers the best sustainability when loading pages with a lot of information. The Opera browser seems to be by far the fastest, but if you are making many things simultaneously, you might need to press F5 to continue where the Opera browser left off.


Welcome to the new 4rail.net reference!

November 8th 2011, the 4rail.net editors

DB ICE3 class 406 stopping in Liege, Belgium

GBRF class 66 number 732 leads high sided hoppers through London, U.K.
It is springtime for U.K.! With lots of light and hundreds of thousands of pictures behind Nick took these two excellent curved track rail pictures in the heart of London, U.K. How the pictures fool you to think the city really is this green while it really is a huge thriving metropolis of over 8 million people living there and its surroundings!

Above the GB Railfraight class 66 locomotive number 66732 is leading a high sided hopper train through the city while below the class 57 number 57314 is being used as a tail end pusher for the train. There is a similar rebuilt loco in the front.

Pictures by Nick Slocombe.

About 4rail.net
4rail.net is built for the benefit and fun of railfans and railpros alike. So far we have provided you with around 500 pages and over 10'000 pictures packed with information. More will appear regularly through much of the year. We always try to make our best getting the facts right, but since it is only human to err, we sometimes need to correct these facts with the next update cycle. Each page is also updated regularly for details that might have changed.

For the moment the biggest update operation is to change the pages becoming compatible for the new update tool. While around 200 pages have been processed already, we see that this project will span well into to the year 2014. Please be patient while the upgrade is in process! The end results should provide you better usability and more intuitive interface while maintaining much of the look and feel of the older pages. Plus a lot of new information will added to the new versions of these pages.

Simultaneously with the page refurbishing also a whole bunch of new interesting subjects will be published, so please see the update lists on the left every now and then to discover the updated and new pages!

If you wish us to publish a certain subject before the others, you can always send us a note by the 4rail.net comlink form.
