Re: (erielack) Wreck reports pre-1911



John - 

The ICC boiler explosion reports are in a separate set of files at the DOT Library.  They were investigated by a different group of ICC inspectors in those days, in a different format and for a different boss.  I don't think those reports have been scanned yet, but it might be done some day.

If the accident was caused by a boiler explosion, it is most likely in that set of files.  The ICC investigated every one, as far as I know.

Subject: (erielack) Wreck reports pre-1911

I've been looking through the ICC reports between 1911 and 1966 for a wreck
and explosion on the DL&W in Vestal, NY, but can't find anything other than
the Apalachin wreck of train #3 in 1921. Is there a site with reports prior
to 1911?
