About Us:
Christina and Jeffrey Rossi started this site back on July 02, 2011. Our main focus was to publish digital photos and videos for the RailFan Hobby. In late 2014, we opened our site up as a General Forum for RailFans in Arizona. At the same time, we continued to post our photos and videos to the site.
Then we got into the ATCS Monitoring Project, by helping out Jon Adams with one of his sites that went down due to a Lightning Strike. We got the PC back online until we can replace the damaged PC. With the ATCS Project we (Christina and Jeffrey) as a team completed the following projects for Arizona and have more to come:

We want to thank everyone that has helped us with Donations to keep the project(s) moving along. We also want to thank our Site Hosts that allow us to install our the equipment at their respected locations.
Our dedication to the RailFan Community: we have an automatic system that monitors all our servers/sites. If something goes down, we are automatically alerted to it via Text (SMS) message and Email. We also monitor all the systems and push out updates during the night hours when there are least amount of users. Between Christina and Jeffrey, we almost have24/7 coverage. We stride to get the system back up as soon as possible.
Our site is FREE of charge. However, the development and maintenance of our site, ATCS Monitoring Systems and RoboFoamer takes a significant amount of time to put together and maintain, with raising ISP and Server Costs as well.
