Live near the area. Big increase in security at Greenbrier compared to prior years. GOP comes to Greenbrier for retreat every year or 2. Locals used to this and respectful. Vans of US Capitol Police around, larger than normal contingency of state troopers and local police - all out in force. Crozet, where crash occurred, near C-ville. Train would not have been going fast at all. Maybe the truck was unable to access a crossing at a different site where train would have been traveling at a much higher rate of speed.
There are 22 full committee members - 13 of which GOP. Ros-Lehtinan previously announced her retirement/not running again. Today, Gowdy is not running. Third announcement coming?
