The DOT Accident Database has been taken offline account funding considerations. The NTSB accident database remains online.

Was this as screwed-up as the "modernized" DOT crossing and crossing accident records of 2016-17?

No matter what it is - it takes away the ability to view railroad accident reports during the period of roughly 1913-1993. The NTSB data base begins with 'selected' accidents from about 1974.

Understand - What's happening over at STB is even more frightening for a very similar reason.
