Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Seligman Sub - Server Down for ATCS Monitoring

Hello TO'ers,
Since Yahoo is not accepting our messages from my domain and some users of ATCS Monitoring are here on TO, I thought I would post this message.

Here is the message:
Looks like that last windows update that went through on Tuesday knocked out our PC at Site Host location for the BNSF Seligman Sub.  We are not able to get the PC to recovery.  We are going to try one more step to fix it, if not, I will have to purchase a replacement PC tonight and get it setup before going over there on the weekend if the site host is available.  In the meantime, BNSF Seligman Sub may be down until then.  Also, please note we plan on bringing up a new site near the Kingman area this weekend if all goes well.  Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

I didn't make it to Kingman on my last trip, but when I do, I don't get very good ATCS reception from my mobile antenna because of the canyons.  Your new Kingman site should give much more of a warning when trains are coming.  Thanks for all your work on improving ATCS in Arizona, and your videos!

Thanks for your comments!  We were able to get Valentine W to Peach Springs E with my smaller test antenna that we use for Site Surveying.  You will have to use: atcs-bnsf.railfanaz.com on port 4891 to get the data from the new site.

After checking out the PC, we have determined that the Power Supply went out.  Most likely due to the continuous Windows Rebooting over and over for 2 days straight before we were able to get there.  New PC is on order and will be installed this weekend.
