Weeelllllll........
Yes, we're switching to the cumbresandtoltec.org site (unless there's some great groundswell of opposition
" />). The main reason is that I don't have time to keep the two sites up to date and since I've not been happy with CTSFriends.railfan.net for some time now, I decided to go with the cumbresandtoltec.org (dot.org). The main problem has been that any addition (such as the late season charter announcement) required me to create two nearly identical pages, one for each site. This duplication of effort was a waste of time. As it is, I'm not completely happy with dot.org, it's pretty barren, but I believe that since it's easier to navagate it's an improvement over the old site. Furthermore as things were the old site had all sorts of mis-information, including TWO pages stating the RR still didn't have an operator!
I believe that pretty much everything important content wise has been copied to the new site, with the main exceptions being the special excursion page which was woefully out of date anyway and the multimedia page (which I hope to get up today). There are also some missing links which I hope to have in place today (or very soon). If you think of anything that I've missed please let me know, preferably back channel.
For those interested, the old site is still intact and can be reached at:
