(Reuters) - A judge should appoint a broad committee of victims of a deadly train explosion in Quebec to resolve a split among claimants in the railway operator's U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to a U.S. bankruptcy watchdog.

A flurry of lawsuits have been filed in the wake of the devastating blast in Lac-Megantic and victims have clashed over the best way to press their claims against Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd.
