Freight Car Overview Index

I've restructured the pages of the blog to have several index pages.  As the number of blogs and pages have grown, the date-based structure of finding blog posts is getting too complex.  So it's time to make some simple Index Pages, branching out to link to the other blog posts and pages.  I'm going to try to keep this index up to speed with links when I'm publishing new blog posts on the following topics.
