It goes down periodically for whatever reason, been that way for years...

Knock on wood so far it has always come back.

Been a pain as I like to use that site when I am buying cars, see if there are pictures of the car number in the wild

Yup.  At this time of month I almost wonder of they exceeded a monthly quota.  Seems like that sort of site.

Here I thought I was the only crazy that does that. Made my day.

Oh well if it's that, then you can blame me (and Athearn and Tangent) 

Thanks all for looking.

Nope, you definitely ain't the only one.

It's down for me now, and was down about this time Thursday night.  Friday night it worked.

I've always assumed they took it down at night for maintenance, backups, and updates, but Ben's idea about exceeding quota is possible.

And it is still down.  Both of the sites I have bookmarked for checking a website status agree that it is down, so it isn't my, or your, browser.

It's still registered ..

If it is still down on December 1st, then we can start to worry..

Someone over at TrainBoard posted a different theory as to why the site is down.
Hopefully, it's just speculation rather than reality.

Agreed. Hoping it's just another in a long string of outages.

I did try to submit some 1970s pix there earlier this year (they claim to be looking for older pix in particular) ...  but I never received a response.
