New Google Map

Heads up ( :tommann: ), if you're a Crew Lounge level member, you have access to place your location on our map:

https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?action=googlemap

In doing so, you'll be able to see where you are in relation to other members for events, operating sessions, etc. I would advise putting your exact location there, unless you like to share that kind of thing.

Go to Hell Norway.  In fact, take the train there.
