'regarding what station the train was supposed to shift tracks.'
The second engineer, who's currently at a hospital, insists that he was misinformed by the train controller who was on duty at the time of the accident regarding what station the train was supposed to shift tracks.
'regarding what station the train was supposed to shift tracks.'
Is the sentence correct?
I think that it should be 'regarding what station the train was supposed to shift tracks at'.
Because it comes from 'what station was the train supposed to shift tracks at?'
Or is where between what station and the train omitted like 'regarding what station where the train was supposed to shift tracks.'?
What do you native English speakers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance.
