Let me add also -- there are more sites like this on the internet. Please
reach out to the owners and get permission to use the images. Post your
successes here! This effort took me perhaps 30 minutes total + another 30
to create the wiki page. (When is mediawiki finally adopting markdown?)

There are also useful Facebook groups for those on Facebook. Folks post
there about new realignments, openings, cool historical factoids, and other
roadgeekery. I subscribe to
https://www.facebook.com/groups/96206174878/?fref=nf,
https://www.facebook.com/groups/FreewaysLA/ and a few others.
