I was specifically looking for the "RRfacts" page

the two listed way back links come back as "unsafe" (1) and "blocked" (1), so not accessable for me

Thanks for verifiing the problems......

The evilgeniustech.com domain redirects to k4kfh.asuscomm.com - uh oh. IIRC asuscomm.com domains are tied to specific retail hardware (like routers) and when the hardware dies the domain is inaccessible.

I did find Al Krug's original home page on archive.org:

 https://web.archive.org/web/20100529204212/http://www.alkrug.vcn.com/home.html

 https://web.archive.org/web/20160414171409/http://www.alkrug.vcn.com/home.html

The other links work but I'm not sure if they are more current than the archived ones. I think this is the top level:

I usually tell new train service volunteers to look up Al's air brake primer - if they don't understand basic air brakes after that, there's no hope.
