User:AlisonW/Rail legend
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This version uses CSS to suppress those icons which do not exist, but therefore displays *all* icons which do exist in each series; there are up to 33 icons in each series.
- This means that this page will not work properly for screen readers and non-CSS capable browsers. It is, however, far more complete than the main manually-maintained version. Please make any comments on the discussion page as usual, thanks. --AlisonW (talk) 15:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- It helps a lot to use this table on a wide-screen display!
