Wreck to be probed by Railway Board

All available data will be laid before federal officials

Independent inquiry

Region headquarters of the Canadian National Railways were last night instructed by the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners that the board officials would proceed at once to investigate the wreck at Drocourt.

This action is in accordance with the special duties assigned the board said a railway official last night, in stating that all the available information regarding the operation of the two trains, the orders given the crews, and any other details, must be placed at the disposal of the Commission's engineers.

This special investigation is conducted entirely independently of the Coroner's inquest, and is held to assist the members of the board in framing regulations that will prevent other wrecks in the future.

The local officials of the Canadian National Railways will furnish the information necessary to the investigation, which begins at once.
