Default WWTL FAQ (Version 1.05)

Hi Transportologists:

The Worldwide Transportation Library has updated its FAQ section:

http://wwtl.info/faq/

"(2.11a) Why don't all of your photographs support map location?

We're proud to boast 66% coverage for our road photos, and a significant
amount of railroad photographs. That said, some photographs were originally
taken in rural areas (several years ago). Current mapping technologies blur
accuracy, so it's difficult for us to (post-hoc) come w/in a 20 metre radius
the actual location. As technology improves, more rural photos will support
map location. Also, if we happen to revisit the original location of the
photograph, we'll make GPS notation of it."

"(4.4) Are there any railways in the world that yield to car traffic?

Yes, a notable example is the Santa Clara County VTA system. Their
light-rail trains, serving the California Silicon Valley, may at certain
locations yield to automobile traffic during rush hour."

Cheers,

Carl Rogers
