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.

As Pete suggests, some very serious accidents went uninvestigated. It appears the ICC wanted to investigate and report on accidents that were different in their basic cause from ones it had previously investigated. It was always looking to make a point with its investigations. For many years the major point was that the accident could have been avoided if a better block signal system, or even better, an automatic train control system, had been in use.
