The site seems to have disappeared. It was a good place to discourage peole from train hopping. A bit gross, but realistic.

Given that its updates were few and far between, the site operator probably got interested in other topics and just lost interest in maintaining that site, it was probably just let to die a slow death like so many websites...

either that or the website owner got run over trying to hop a train....[:0]

   Have fun with your trains

Actualy the site was a cover for people that wanted to hop trains[8D],
After you you got through the train-hopping fatalitys there was some good info on there. The owner actulay was a punk train-hopper himself
