Obama train on the 17th

[Galls]

If there was any doubt about funding for Amtrak, how about the plug that Joe Biden has been working with the media. Brian Williams on NBC just made about a 30 second comment regarding Amtrak and Joe Biden along with increased funding at 11:40 AM. Talk about a large audience to make that comment with. Maybe we will see change...

WBZ (1030 AM in Boston, though it can be heard for quite some distance, especially at night) mentioned whitehouse.gov a minute or two ago, and one of the things on the front page is mention of the whistlestop tour.

But when you actually go to the website, there is not other mention of Amtrak or rail for that matter, just roads and bridges.

Scroll down this page. Nothing specific, but it does mention rail.

There's a brief video about #44's train ride to DC on this page of the new whitehouse.gov website. Also footage at about 0:40 of the then president-elect in an Amfleet café car, perhaps hunting down that veggie burger...
