BULLSHEET DOWN!
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 29, 2005 4:19 PM
The "freight trains" feature at bullsheet is down? What's going on? Is Allen taking the site off-line? Is he still going to be publishing the newsletter over the internet at least (the hard-print published version ended 9/05)? Anybody know?

Bullsheet is a great source of east coast railroad information and news, with focus centered around the old B&O mainlines, for those of you who don't know. Pretty interesting stuff.

Looks like the problem is just a short term issue. Saw Allan has this posted on his site.

NOTICE TO VISITORS...

THE DATA APPEARING ON THE FREIGHT SCHEDULES SITE DISAPPEARED ON SEPTEMBER 29.

REASON UNKNOWN -- BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO WORK THE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
WAS DOING TO UPGRADE ANOTHER PORTION OF THE SITE SHARING THE SAME DATA BASE.

ALL DATA IS BACKED UP ON FILE, BUT IT MAY BE SEVERAL DAYS
BEFORE ALL OF IT IS RESTORED TO THE SITE.

Q-TRAINS WILL GET FIRST PREFERENCE.

IN THE MEANTIME, CERTAIN LOADING ERRORS MAY OCCUR.. THESE WILL BE CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Here is a snip directly from the BULLSHEET web site that may help clarify things for us all:

It is a great website. If only the NS and CN had similar type coverage. My life would then be complete. Wow...what a shallow life I lead!
