About this page:
A compilation of raillinks, sorted roughly by region. It started out as a linkfest, basically the 'raillinks' section of my bookmark file. But it's becoming way too much, and there are plenty of other pages around (though this one get a lot of hits through google !). So I'm not actively maintaining this page, though I add links every now and then, and I also run it through a link-checker occasionally.
