Our train heading to our annual retreat with members of Congress has been an accident. Looks like smaller injuries at this point on train but serious injuries outside from collision.

I’m driving separately and was not on the train, but am thinking of my colleagues and feel awful for the 3 people on board the truck that was hit. Just terrible–please pray for them and their families.
