Update: Digital Railroad server up through tomorrow...maybe

We've just received the following statement from Diablo Management, the company that is in the process of liquidating Digital Railroad: “As part of the process of terminating the business operations of Digital Railroad, Diablo Management Group has informed PhotoShelter of their intent to shut down the DRR site as early as 11:59PM, PST, on Friday October 31. After this point, it is very likely that all the images located on the Digital Railroad servers could be permanently inaccessible. Given the strong possibility of this event, PhotoShelter, on its own initiative, is strongly suggesting that customers migrate their files from Digital Railroad immediately. Digital Railroad, at the present time, has no plans or resources to accomplish this task.”

Initially, it was feared that DRR.net would shut down within 24 hours of the announcement that Digital Railroad was being liquidated. This is the first direct statement from Diablo and we have been cautioned that the deadline could change without notice.

Adorama urgently advises anyone with a Digital Railroad account to back up their photos and all account information immediately. After the server is turned off, that information is likely to be lost forever.
