REPORT ON SEQUENCE OF EVENTS FOLLOWING HOUSTON, TEXAS DERAILMENT. PHASE 01 REPORT

This report concerns only the behavior of the tank cars following the derailment. Further, there are no conclusions drawn since this would be premature and inconsistent with the plan of doing so only after assembly and study of all past and current accident data.
