alt.binaries.pictures.rail is a Usenet newsgroup, not a website. If your
mail server offers access to newsgroups, you should be able to subscribe by
following whatever instructions your news reader provides. (definition by
example: my mail server is ATT Worldnet; my news reader is MS Outlook
Express).
If you don't have this capability, then seek out http://www.abpr.com, which
is a website holding a day-by-day archive of all the images posted at
a.b.p.r, updated usually about a day after the actual postings.
If you don't know a.b.p.r and ABPR.COM, then you've been missing a great
source of rail-oriented (including traction-oriented) pictures - an almost
overwhelming embarrassment of riches, actually. Of late, there has been a
big spate of postings from people who followed the demise of the Drake.
The Drake map is apparently too large for some people to receive - 475K for
the JPEG, growing to more than 600K as a mail message. Sorry, that's just
the nature of the beast.
If you are already familiar with the geographic details of Pittsburgh's
southern suburbs, this map is probably not worth your trouble. But if you
do want to see it and have difficulty receiving it, get in touch with me
privately and I'll try to send it directly - if necessary, a smaller, less
clear version.
