Recent changes to dk.trackmap.net

June 29th, 2006

The large versions of the track maps are now nicely scalable vector PDF files, instead of merely 5x enlarged PNG images.

Updated map M based on a more recent construction diagram than the one I used originally.
All maps now redrawn in a lighter, more modern graphical style. There are no blatant outlines around platform symbols, title boxes, or the entire map anymore. Outline-free platform symbols mean that island platforms can be shown without adding extra distance between tracks, which has simplified the rendering of many stations. Also the senseless green blob in the middle of turntable signatures has been replaced by a diameter line, referring to the turning track.

Updated S-train parking tracks around Dybbølsbro, and platforms under construction at Ny Ellebjerg; both on map A.
Helsinge on map B updated. Thanks to Alexander Munk.

Incorporated old updates from Niels Karsdorp: Langå - Struer, Esbjerg - Ringkøbing and Brande on map I, Hjørring - Frederikshavn on map H, Grænge on map D, Kvistgård on map B.

Updates on map A: extended depot at Hundige; track 10 at Lersøen now looks finished.

Østbanen is now on map B, with changes from Lars Elmvang.
Incorporated old additions to map A, courtesy of Lars Elmvang (Østerport, Hellerup).

The track map collection quietly celebrated its 10th birthday recently, without even myself noticing.
Updates to Hellerup (map A), Hillerød (maps A and B), minor corrections to Gribskovbanen (map A).
All maps now have larger-resolution versions.
Many of the large-resolution maps are now annotated with track numbers. (They used to be on some of the small-resolution maps, but I decided that was too gritty. But it's beautiful on the larger ones).

(notices of change die when they get a year old, unless I think they have historical value)

International dept.: Published new maps from Munich (Germany) and old sketches from Malmö (Sweden).

Moved the track map collection to a new, and hopefully permanent, home at trackmap.net.
(Previously the collection was part of something I called "The Railfan's Guide to Copenhagen" which was hosted by sunsite.dk. When they kindly asked me to leave their server, I decided that the only part of the Guide I really cared for was the track maps. So here they are.)

Announced trackmap.net as the future name of this site. (Trackmap.net is not quite working yet).

The fixed link across Storebælt is now fully in service. Regional trains from Copenhagen now go to Odense and track map C now contains the tracks almost all the way there.
The old station at Korsør is not used anymore, and so I've moved it to a new historic section.
New! The historic track map also contains the old station at Nyborg which never made it to the regular track map collection.

The Railfan's Guide to Copenhagen moved to a new server and is now at sunsite.auc.dk.

The guide started as a small set of pages on the S-trains, located in my homepage directory at DIKU, with the most important one being the track map I had just drawn.
The direct inspiration was Dave Pirmann's server about the New York subway in general and Michael Calcagno (nee Adler)'s track maps there in particular.
(This is not a genuine change entry, it was created post hoc on April 22th, 1997).
