[CBQ] Re: Motor Car Collision

["broken bolster" <therrboomer@yahoo.com>]

   I respectfully disagree.  The Online Special Collection does
   not have all the accident reports.  I years past I've read ICC
   reports that are not in the online collection. The Montgomery
   report (1963?)is not shown and I know that generated an ICC report.
   In 1964 I was an operator on GTW and each one of us had to sign
   off that we had read and understoodthe that very ICC report.
