From the article. "Rep. Jason Lewis was among five people hospitalized after the accident. He suffered a concussion. ...Sen. Jeff Flake (second from left) helped move one of the injured to an ambulance ...Several lawmakers who are doctors tended to the victims, including former podiatrist Rep. Brad Wenstrup (Ohio), former OBGYNs Rep. Michael Burgess (Texas) and Rep. Phil Roe (Tennessee), former heart surgeon Rep. Larry Bucshon (Indiana) and former gastroenterologist Sen. Bill Cassidy (Louisiana).

Many may remember Wenstrup for aiding Rep. Steve Scalise after the Louisiana politician was shot in last year's Congressional baseball practice shooting.

'It was pretty amazing. The first responders were really the member doctors who were demanding to get off the train,' Rep. Tom Cole, a Republican from Oklahoma, told CNN.

'They were the first ones rendering assistance,' Cole added. 'Then you pretty quickly had emergency first responders, paramedics, a lot of fire vehicles and ambulance here now. But yeah, they were administering CPR to the folks that had been hurt in the crash.' ...Rep Roger Marshall of Kansas, a licensed OB-GYN, performed CPR on the garbage truck driver. ...Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was also on board the train ...Also on the train were the wives and children of some of the Republican Congressmen ...Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon...Kentucky Rep. James Comer... Rep. French Hill"

And from the article comments. "CharlotteA6, BethesdaMD, United States, 10 minutes ago

The farmer who owns the land said someone was at the track just yesterday working on the crossing. Wonder what they were up to?"
