(rshsdepot) A collection of over 12,000 photos related to Stations and Depots

I have been working on creating some collections of photos from the 400,000
photos online in my ABPR archive. Today I created a searchable collection for
Stations and Depots. It is available online at http://abpr2.railfan.net/RR/
at the bottom of the list.

There are 12,410 photos in the collection. Not all of them are photos of
stations themselves as "station" or "depot" may appear in photo descriptions
like "blah blah on approach to the so and so station" or "something just west 
of whatever depot."  It is browsable sorted by filename in groups of 50 per
page, but the search function is the best way to locate photo related to your
topic of interest. As the ABPR is contributed to by anyone in the world who
wants to, many of the station and depot photos are from outside the USA.

The search function uses Perl Regular Expressions so those familiar with
perlre can generate very complex queries to create a specific sub-collection.
Searches can be bookmarked for later reference and if the collection has been
updated since the last viewing, new matching entries will also appear along  
with the previous search results.

I plan to add more options for sorting and searching in the future, but my 
time is very limited these days and I wanted to get something useful
available ASAP as I have been meaning to do this for quite some time.

I hope this can be of use to some of you,

Henry
