Please excuse this message to net.general, but I have been unable to 
reach the "postmaster" at Berkeley with the following question;  I would
appreciate it if the individual responsible for the Arpa/Usenet 
News Gateway at Berkeley would reply by electronic mail.

Has post-railroad@Berkeley (ARPA) been removed?  This address routed
arpanet mail received into the USENET newsgroup fa.railroad.

For a while, aprnaet mail directed there just was lost with neither 
an explaination nor failure indication to the message
originator on the Arpanet.  Later, it again started working.
Now it seems that it is completely
cut off and mail is refused with an explaination of "user unknown".

Newsgroup net.railroad sprang up when the link with fa.railroad became
flakey.  It seems that uucp mail directed to ucbvax!c70:railroad still works
to send mail to the arpanet group.  All such messages directed there recently
have been returned to the sender after seemingly being delivered to 
MIT-MC where the actual distribution takes place.

Could you please let me know what has happened with this group?  Thank you .
