| This is the type of media 'news wash' cover one would expect for a explosive on the train. Two cars controlled, track traffic stopped, perp 'under evaluation'. Wonder if the RAD alert was triggered. Any blue suburbans in the area? [FoxBusinessNews] Firefighters and emergency medical services personnel responded to the scene of an Amtrak train derailment at Union Station on Tuesday morning. Two cars of Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 86 derailed at around 8:47 a.m. ET, but were still upright and positioned inside the tunnel just before the station. D.C. Fire and EMS said firefighters were aboard the train and communicating with passengers. One Amtrak employee was transported for a "minor medical condition" and one passenger was being evaluated. There were no other reported injuries. Amtrak told FOX Business in an email that it is investigating the cause of the derailment and that staff had immediately responded alongside first responders. Amtrak said that trains operating between the nation's capital and Alexandria, Virginia, were stopped due to the disabled train that is "blocking the tracks south of Washington." |

| #2 I was hoping that Buttigieg was being evaluated for dismissal. Maybe some day. |

| #1 All passengers were moved to unaffected cars and have been transported to L’Enfant Plaza Station. Is that Biden's stop? |
