Re: (erielack) Wreck reports pre-1911

Local legend had it as a dynamite explosion. I wanted to find out for 
myself. Not sure if it's an exaggerated recollection or a real event. How 
would one get access to an unscanned ICC report?

| 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.
