NRS-15737 | Original documents from the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Glenbrook Rail Accident

Full description

This series consists of original documents and photographs received by the Special Commission of Inquiry. Documents relating directly to the accident were obtained from agencies including the State Rail Authority, Police Department, and the Department of Transport. Documents were also received from other New South Wales Government agencies, in addition to unions and interstate Government agencies. Many of the documents were presented due to summons issued by the Special Commission. The Commission of Inquiry also obtained documents relating to rail systems and accidents elsewhere in the world. The series also includes photographs and copies of correspondence, and media reports.

Files are alpha-numerically numbered with an eight or nine digit code. All begin with G (presumably to denote Glenbrook), and the following three letters usually indicate the source of the document. For example, file GAMB.0001 is the first file from the Ambulance Service.
