Depends on where the gas chamber was. Many chambers were on railcars people thought they were going to the camps then they released blue pellets called Zyklon-B a common cheap efficent way to kill Jews. The other ones were big enough to fit 20-30 people they were told they were getting showers but really they were being murdered on the spot. After the chambers they took the dead bodies to the crematoria and threw them in the cremators.

The victims were not killed on the trains, though some were gassed in vans by diverting the exhaust into the compartment. The trains simply transported the Jews and others to the concentration and extermination camps, which became fitted during the War with purpose-built gas-chambers disguised as shower-blocks, and crematoria. Zyklon-B was actually a rodenticide. It was not designed for killing people, but the Nazis used it for that.
