MSNBC rolled off many of the names on the train, including the speaker of the house. Jeff Flake is answering questions.

The news did mention the one from ME got injured - cuts and bruises; and that others, too, had cuts and bruises.

Three people were in the truck. One got killed.

Why were they riding an Amtrak train?

Is that something they historically do on the

Congressional GOP Annual Retreat?

They chartered it for their use. Not everyone was on board. Many took alternate modes of transportation.

But have they used it before for their annual retreats?

Or is it common to charter an Amtrak?
