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

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

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.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

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

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