What happened to Utah Rails?

I often refer to Don Strack's Utah Rails web site. I read earlier that he was trying to get someone to take over the site.  It appears to be down at this time.

http://www.utahrails.net

I imagine many years of research and work went into the "all time rosters".  I should have copied the pages to my computer while it was still in operation.   :(

Don's site is still listed at the bottom of the "UP Index" on this site.

http://www.trainweb.org/utahrails/

Does anyone have any information about Don Strack or the site?

Thanks

Hi Bob

You might find some info in these links.

I know what you mean about downloading a site in case it goes away. I found that to be a great help with Harold's site as his as gone away a few times.

The site was down for several days. Don once stated that he was about to give it up due to all the renumberings, but I could not imagine him just dumping all that information.  It's back up again, so I'm copying it all.

I'm mostly interested in steam. I found my UP Connie #618 was retired in 1957, still running in Heber Valley Utah. It's my favorite (have 4 of them). One of them is scheduled for a Tsunami.

Here is a link to the WayBack Machine. You'll find copies of UtahRails going back to 2002. Check it out.

Thanks for the Wayback site. I had accidently deleted a page from my website about a year ago. I found it on the Wayback site.
