Amtrak CEO Ditches Broken Train, Takes Car
Today’s the big day for Amtrak’s Wilmington train station. It is being renamed in honor of Vice President and former Delaware Senator Joe Biden following major renovations made possible with stimulus funds. One problem: the CEO of Amtrak got stuck on the train.
Oops.
—————————————————————-
Delaware’s Wilmington Station was officially renamed “Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Railroad Station” in honor of the Vice President who helped raise $37.7 million in stimulus funds for its renovation. Vice President Biden, a longtime senator from Delaware, was a frequent passenger.
Wilmington serves a dozen rail lines including Amtrak’s Acela Express through the northeast corridor with Philadelphia to the north and Baltimore to the south.
Just under 700,000 passengers were served by Wilmington last year.
