Train Derailment - US Members of Congress on-board

[Bob]

An odd situation.

A dumptruck was parked on the tracks.

An Amtrak train hit the dumptruck.

Members of Congress were hurt.

This came after the State of the Union address. Coincidence? Or something else?

Article Title: Amtrak carrying members of Congress hits Virginia truck

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. -- A train carrying members of Congress -- including House Speaker Paul Ryan -- to their legislative retreat in West Virginia hit a truck Wednesday, multiple sources told CNN.

An aide confirmed Ryan was on the train and is fine. Separately, a congressman on the train told CNN most of the staff and members on the train are OK.

The Amtrak train left from Union Station in Washington earlier Wednesday, and was carrying members of Congress, as well as their spouses, some family members and aides to the lawmakers.

Rep. John Faso, a New York Republican, who was on the train that crashed, said he was able to see the truck that hit the train, and that he was told that injuries were expected from people in the truck, not train.

"There was (what) looks like a tractor trailer carrying trash that was hit by the train," Faso, who said he was in the third car of the train, told CNN.

"I think everyone on the train is OK," Faso said. "I don't know that for sure, it's a long train. But most of the concern is for the people outside."

One GOP source was unsure how many members of Congress were on the train or how many people were injured, but said there were injuries.

That source said members "hit the deck."

Republican members of Congress were on their way for a retreat at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, starting Wednesday and ending Friday. Vice President Mike Pence, who was not on the train, is scheduled to speak to members later Wednesday and President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the event tomorrow.

-- Passenger aboard truck dead after crash involving train carrying members of Congress

Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona told The Washington Post that there were three passengers on the truck, with one dead and two injured. Flake said he and other lawmakers carried one of the injured truck passengers to an ambulance with local medical personnel.

The Amtrak train crashed with the truck in Crozet, which is west of Charlottesville, at 11:20 a.m. local time.

Another view

Nebraska Reps. Jeff Fortenberry and Don Bacon are both safe after an Amtrak train carrying dozens of GOP lawmakers crashed into a garbage truck en route to a retreat in West Virginia.

Forteberry's family was also on the train, he tweeted: "Jarring, but everyone OK on train."

He added that someone on the truck appeared to be seriously injured, possibly dead. "A number of Members of Congress who are doctors tried to help," he tweeted.

It was unclear if other members of Nebraska's federal delegation were on board.

The crash happened near Charlottesville, Virginia. The train was carrying members of the House and Senate, plus some family members and aides, en route to the Greenbrier resort in White Sulfur Springs for a three-day issues retreat featuring appearances by President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Oklahoma GOP Rep. Tom Cole said he felt "a tremendous jolt" when the accident occurred at about 11:15 a.m. EST, nearly two hours after it left Washington.

He said the train stopped quickly after impact. He said several GOP lawmakers who are doctors got off the train to assist, including Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, who was also at last June's shooting of Republicans at a baseball practice in nearby Alexandria, Virginia, and treated some of the victims.

Other doctor-lawmakers who helped included Reps. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, Phil Roe, R-Tenn., and Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La.

Cole said the front of the train hit a vehicle that appeared to be a trash truck, which he said was torn in half. He said the accident apparently occurred at or near a crossing because he could see railroad crossing gates.

(see bottom of post for more updates on WHO was ON the train)

(more coming.. one member was saying about 200 members of Congress on board the train, with about 100 family members (according to Brad Byrne)

update - FOX news has Rachel Campos Duffy's wife reporting that there are NO injuries on board, contradicting Rep/ Chuck Fleischmann's tweets.

FOX then got Fleischmann to report via phone. He reports that the train is now being pulled back to it's starting destination, where the people on the train will be transported by BUS to their retreat. Pence and Trump are scheduled to meet at the retreat within a day.

Roger Marshall reports that there were people with head injuries on the train.

The train was running at about 70 mph when the impact happened.

According to Brad Byrne, this retreat is an ESSENTIAL MEETING, where the upcoming year's agenda will be developed.

VP Pence tweets, still heading to the retreat. (That this won't stop him or others to proceed ahead).

Dr Marshall reports that the first person had a crushed airway (no pulse), and they tried to work on them to keep them alive (but failed), then they went to work on the second person, and managed to stabilize them, where they were transported to a local hospital. No word on the 3rd person from the trash truck such as why they were there stopped on the track.

This is not the first time this sort of thing happened. TWO years in a row, there have been 'accidents' on getting to the retreat.

Jeb Hensarling (Texas) reports at least 2 people (reps) from the train were transported to UVA Health Systems (hospital). There were two Amtrak employees also injured.

Jeb reports that he will do the retreat. That this retreat is essential for planning the business needed for the upcoming year.

Back at CharlottesVille, VA its a scene out of 911 - police are everywhere, from state police, capitol police, sheriff's and local police. Security checks everywhere.

1:38pm the train (more than a dozen cars) is arriving at CharlottesVille. A convoy of buses sits in the parking lot.

Words being used by the congressional members - "We WILL be doing the People's Work"..

Railroad investigator says, no warning lights were flashing (when he saw the train moving out from the crash site), but/and this particular location was in a relatively hidden spot, on an uphill incline, treelined,and on a curve and the Amtrak engineers would have had a hard time to see a vehicle on the tracks at this location until it was too late. (John Hiatt railroad investigator). Hiatt also said there is no logical reason what-so-ever that this train should have been moved until the preliminary investigation was completed. He felt it unusual that the track was cleared so quickly and declared safe to move the train.

Michael Burgess (R) Texas contradicts the Rail Road investigator.

Burgess says the gates were down, lights flashing (how would he know that?) One could assume that crossing gates would have been destroyed during such a crash.. ? If so (gates) why was the dumptruck on the track around the gates? Contradictions are starting to build. He also contradicts the speed, saying it was only 50-60 mph. How would he know that?

Burgess says it's just an accident, no conspiracy, nothing sinister there.. (1:54 pm in an interview live with FOX)

hmmm... "move along, nothing to see here"... now where have we seen that before.. Could we assume the earlier congressmen and their families are being told to shut up and let the appropriate spokespersons explain it all.. who would be telling them that if such is the case, why the contradictions? Those injured spoke out early and probably accurately. Burgess says he was not injured, just sitting at a table talking to other people there.

Fox news reported on-site at the Amtrak station in CharlottesVille, VA reports that the feed going back to the networks IS being delayed by 20 seconds, so it is not actually LIVE but is being censored, monitored..

News helicopters are flying over the crash site. SWAT members are starting to converge all over the Amtrak Station.

Pulling up Google Earth - taking an actual LOOK at the scene...

The curve matches what the railroad accident investigator reported, ON A CURVE.

Accident Scene Crozet, near Lanetown and Marymart Farm Roads.

There are NO crossing gates seen in the recent google-earth satellite views of the accident site, but two light poles indicating a train may be coming can be seen on the sides of the road. Now it is possible that the gates are very thin and relatively invisible from Satellite views not able to cast a shadow.. If they were down, it would be easy to drive around them. In an early live view from FOX on the ground at the crossing, one cannot SEE any gates, but possibly a mechanism on the flashing lights poles (without any gates attached). Were there gates damaged? Were there no gates but the mechanism there? Unknown at this time. Subsequent "views" of the scene NOW show a gate across both sides of the track. The SIZE of the GATE(s) appear to "change" in whatever news agency is reporting on images at the accident scene..

There appears to be a very small pedestrian style of gate as shown by live Fox news cameras on site. Such a small gate does not seem like it would warn a truck to not cross. Another suggestion presented to me, was there a gunman in the truck telling the driver to stop on the tracks? Conjecture, hard telling at this point.

In this image from NBC, there appears to be a crossing gate - odd

The current images (allegedly supplied live images from the ground by a FOX news reporter on-site), show the "gates" to be DOWN and about 6-8 foot long.. The above image (still image) shows much LONGER GATES.. Again a strange anomaly in all the images.

Another view, the "gates" are down, and are smaller

Update-
Rolling back Google Earth to 2009 there is less foliage, and there CAN be seen large crossing gates (up at that time), and notice the WHITE trash truck (?) towards the bottom right. That seems to match the "dumptruck" in the crash images for today..

Just pure evil at work. The repubs have been given another message. Shooting Scalise and assaulting Paul wasn't enough. An en masse message now. The manchurian candidate in the truck is of course dead but who cares, the point is the message to the repubs loud and clear, do not support your president.

On top of that now Wray is saying he opposes releasing the Memo. Don't know if he overrides Trump in this regard or not, but man, we barely get 24 hrs of a little optimism that these demons just don't quit. Hope the repubs hold on but I can see them being scared now...

The elites want their one world government at all costs, the modus operandi - repub betrayal, race and gender tyranny, etc., etc...

[Noelle]

Call me "out there," but if this is a false flag, could there be something symbolic about the vehicle on the tracks -- a truck full of garbage?

How does a semi truck not see a train, and a train not see a semi truck ???

Nothing wrong with your noodle, M'lady. We know how they love their depraved symbols.
This move is a declared War! Will the repubs run like cowardly deserters?

Is it time for patriots whether alt or mainstream to start talking about who the dems, rogue intel and media serve? Fox news will call it the 'deep state' but is it time for people to start talking about the ruling class families who own the banks etal and their desire for one world government?

So much talk of corruption, corruption but it's filters to the minds of most americans as accusations that one party throws at another and I don't think gets much deeper. It's chancy for people more mainstream to start talking like Alt hosts but maybe it's time? Will the average american just register this as a coincidence?

No,.. Wray doesn't over-ride Trump: it's Trump's & Trump's decision alone. I consider this a deliberate attack on the GOP's (thank God they weren't in an airplane!). FOX NEWS reporting members are continuing the journey by bus. (Don't give up Helene, rumour has it the decision as to WHEN the Memo is going to be released will be TODAY)... ie within the next 5 days

Congress-Woman Meme Walters in car number 6 reports a "jolt", saying obviously we hit something.. She says "we saw trash every where", and eventually the train came to a stop. Then the next thing she knew doctors from on the train were trying to get out of the train to try to help those in the cab of the dumptruck. She says she says she intends to go to the retreat at the GreenBrier.

It is noted that not ALL republican members of congress were on that train.

Possibly looking at who was NOT on the train might be an interesting study..

For instance, Congressman Tom Garrett (R-VA) was not on the train. Indiana Reps. Luke Messer and Todd Rokita were not on board.

Scalise was not on Wednesday's Amtrak train, Stephen Joseph Scalise is the current United States House of Representatives Majority Whip and representative for Louisiana's 1st congressional district, serving since 2008. Scalise was wounded in June when a gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers practicing in a Washington, D.C., suburb for a charity baseball game.

Rep. Clay Higgins was driving separately to the retreat with Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, who tweeted that they were both "safe."

Clay Higgins sits on the following committees: House Committee on Homeland Security. Member, Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection; Member, Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency; Member, Subcommittee on Transportation and Protective Security.

Randy Weber - Committee on Foreign Affairs. Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations. Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa. Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Subcommittee on Energy. Subcommittee on Environment. Freedom Caucus.

Rep. Elise Stefanik NY - Stefanik serves on the House Armed Services Committee , the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

On the House Armed Services Committee, Congresswoman Stefanik serves as Chair for the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. In addition, she serves on the Subcommittee on Readiness.

On the Committee on Education and the Workforce, Congresswoman Stefanik serves on the Subcommittees on Higher Education and Workforce Development and Workforce Protections.

On the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Congresswoman Stefanik serves on the Subcommittees on Department of Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture and the NSA & Cybersecurity.

This is interesting: Sen. John McCain and Rep. Andy Biggs were not on the train
Biggs, a Republican, is the representative for Arizona’s 5th congressional district (Andy Biggs stood against nearly every House member, voting "no" on a bill for nearly $8 billion in Hurricane Harvey relief aid.), while McCain serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services; Member and former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs; and Member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

It gets deeper still - South Carolina Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott were not on board the train. Graham was one of the NEVER-TRUMP advocates. Oct 23, 2017 - Once upon a time, Lindsey Graham called Donald Trump a "jackass." Never to be outdone in the put-down department, Trump labeled the South Carolina senator a "lightweight" and an "idiot" who “seems to me not as bright as Rick Perry.” Graham: " If President Trump Doesn't Call Himself a Genius 'Nobody Else Will "

Tim Scott - Senator Scott to Serve on Senate Armed Services Committee. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said fellow South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham confirmed President Trump referred to some nations as “sh!thole countries” during a White House meeting that Graham attended with lawmakers Thursday.

Finances - U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Indianapolis, has been appointed vice chairman of the House Budget Committee, putting him in line to someday control the federal budget-writing process if Republicans remain in the majority. Rokita will help analyze the president's proposed federal budget, and separately craft a House budget resolution to be used by representatives in making spending decisions.

U.S. Senator John Kennedy was not on the train - Senate Committee on Appropriations. Member, Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Member, Subcommittee on Department of Homeland Security; Member, Subcommittee on Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies, Senate Committee on the Budget, Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Member, Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration
Member, Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, Member, Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, Member, Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law, Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship

Bob Goodlatte - Committee on the Judiciary (Chairman) Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet (Chairman), Committee on Agriculture (Vice Chairman) Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry. House Judiciary Task Force on Judicial Impeachment (Ranking Member).

Senator Pat Toomey, Representative Lou Barletta and Dan Marino were not on the train.
Toomey: Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Committee on the Budget, Committee on Finance .

Lou Barletta: is a member of the following House committees and subcommittees.

• House Homeland Security Committee
  
• Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security

• Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, Chair
• Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee
• House Judiciary Committee
  
• Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations Subcommittee

Rep. Kristi Noem was not on the train - She currently serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, which is largely regarded as the most powerful committee in Congress. The Ways and Means Committee has jurisdiction over all tax, trade, and economic growth policies.

(looking for more) - anyone see any patterns?

Where were they all going?

Amtrak initially denied that there were any injuries on the train - http://fox59.com/2018/01/31/members-...h-in-virginia/

Amtrak said in a statement that the train came into contact with a vehicle that was on the tracks at 11:20 a.m. in Crozet, Virginia, outside Charlottesville. Amtrak’s statement said “There are no reported injuries to passengers or crew members” as of noon

National Transportation Safety Board says it “is launching a Go-Team to the scene of the Amtrak accident in VA. More information will be released as it becomes available.”

US Capitol Police said congressional officials, including the USCP, are on the scene and are working closely with partner law enforcement agencies in response to the incident.

A train carrying Republican lawmakers on their way to their retreat at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia hit a truck, a GOP staffer on Capitol Hill confirmed to the Washington Examiner. One person was killed in the crash, according to the White House.

"The President has been fully briefed on the situation in Virginia and is receiving regular updates. There is one confirmed fatality and one serious injury. There are no serious injuries among members of Congress or their staff," said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders in a statement.

"Senior administration officials are in regular contact with Amtrak and state and local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has been affected by this incident."

Most lawmakers on the train were reported to be OK, though some on board sustained injuries. The train was also carrying members' spouses and staff members to the retreat in White Sulphur Springs. A spokesperson for the Congressional Institute told the Examiner one lawmaker was taken to the hospital and a GOP aide said that lawmaker was Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Minn.

A House GOP aide said Lewis had been taken to a local hospital to be treated for a concussion.

"I'm fine compared to, tragically, the truck drivers," Lewis said in a statement to the Examiner.

A spokeswoman for Amtrak said two of its crew members and a second passenger were taken to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Amtrak did not identify the second passenger.

The accident occurred in Albemarle County, Va., west of Crozet, Va., and is currently under investigation.

Here's the front of the train, a ways further down the track, heading west, toward West Virginia. The portion of the train showing in the earlier images on this thread is, I believe, the tail end of the train, that had almost passed through the railroad crossing before coming to a complete stop.
