As supervising railroad officer in this area it is my duty to investigate on the ground all accidents if I an within driving dis- tance. Upon arriving at the accident the night of the 15th I was immediately impressed by the manner in which the Caldwell Police Department was handling the civil investigation. First, they had sealed off the area from spectators which eliminated all interference from the curious public. This is the first time I have seen this done and it certainly made for a complete and thorough investigation. Secondly, the officers involved went about their work in a most efficient and expedions manner. In several years of experience investigating accidents in this area I have never seen one handled in a more e- fficient manner. On behalf of the Union Pacific Railroad I wish to 6 congratulate you for heading such an experienced and well- trained group. Truly Yours, € /s/ Fred M.
