Caveat emptor. The book is known for its errors of fact and suppositions.

The ICC's Accident Investigation Report on the derailment is available online in the .pdf format through the DOT Library Special Collections. It's in the railroad section and is the second listing for "Southern Pacific Railroad" for 1939.

The below link may or may not work for you. If it doesn't, you should be able to find the site by doing an online search for "dot library special collections."
