"Amtrak, Nagin Argue Over Rescue Train"

Tags: ,

On Sunday, Ray Nagin commented on Amtrak's claim that they could have evacuated several hundred people just before the storm hit. From this:

"I don't know where that's coming from," [Ray Nagin] told NBC's "Meet the Press." "Amtrak never contacted me to make that offer. As a matter of fact, we checked the Amtrak lines for availability, and every available train was booked, as far as the report that I got, through September. So I'd like to see that report."
