Towers Page Down!

Unfortunately, the Texas Interlocking Towers webpage is temporarily offline. The new picture revamping (discussed a blog entries back) forced me to transfer the railroad company IDs from their old table to the new one. Evidently, something got messed up along the way, rendering the IDs mismatched with their original companies.
The results, for example, shows that the Texas Midland (around Greenville, TX), the Texas Electric Railway (an interurban line between Dallas and Sherman), and the Louisiana Railroad & Navigation (which had no presence in Texas) were served by a tower in Galveston. This, of course, is incorrect.
So now I am forced to delete all the ID links from the tower tables, and re-enter them manually again, like I did the first time -- a tedious and slow process, which I'm not particularly looking forward to.
