THE OFFICIAL WEBPAGE
OF ROBERT D. WEST
Here is a list of the updates to my website. I don't necessarily have every update on here, especially for the original website, but I have all the important updates as best as I can tell. I will try to keep this page up to date. (Note: "Linkage" indicates that the update consisted solely of adding links to other new pages on the site.)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
To anyone who actually managed to find my website now: Welcome and Congratulations! MSOE redid their website, and now the old "www.msoe.edu/~westr" doesn't work anymore. (My business cards are wrong now!) It is now either people.msoe.edu/~westr or myweb.msoe.edu/~westr. So, I had to go through and change all the now-outdated links on all 130 pages! In other words, as of today, every single page is slightly modified and freshly uploaded, though on most of them, you won't notice. If you notice any problems, please email me. I apologize for the inconvenience (even though its not my fault).
Why is this important? Well, if you have bookmarked or linked to my site, you may need to change your bookmarks/links.
As a consolation, I added a lot of new train pictures, as August was a great month for them.
New Train Picture Page: Mass Transit Pictures
I have also split the Northwest Railroad Museums off of the Northwest Short Lines page onto their own page. Links have been updated accordingly throughout the train pages.
