National Transportation Safety Board - Anyone wishing to research the railroad industry can find interesting and informative resources with the federal government. For reports on railroad accident investigations 1911-1966 via Interstate Commerce Commission (many good PRR reference reports) go to: Online Digital Special Collections. Use the table of contents to get a quick index by year. This is more comprehensive than just typing in PRR. Additional newer resources can be found at: USDOT: Federal Railroad Administration
