Often web hosts have a policy about the sort of content that can be hosted
on their servers.  I wrote to one host in the case of "Melburn Steel"
(another rail graffiti site) and they took the site down within hours.
Afterwards though, I had second thoughts.  Maybe that was a bad idea.  As
long as the site was up the police would have been able to monitor their
activities and maybe track them down.
