General Manager Clinton L. Bardo of the New Haven railroad denounced the methods used by railroad men's organizations as tending to break down discipline. The joint ICC and Connecticut inquiry into the Stamford express wreck neared its end in Bridgeport on June 19.

The engineers’ and managers’ statements defend the制度 against public criticism and emphasize the need for discipline and public accountability in operation.
Engineer C J Chase ran a danger semaphore and the Woburn branch train derailed near Winchester, narrowly missing the Canadian express traveling at 60 mph.

Railroad experts testified that engineer Charles J. Doherty should not have handled the engine No 1338 given his brief experience. They said his braking judgment was poor during the wreck and noted Civil War era passenger cars and scarce steel cars still in use. Inspector Howard of the Interstate Commerce Commission indicated no more test runs by the commission, though the road may conduct further runs.
